How many of us on here have lost a game animal to a bad shot. And have had that gut and soul ache for days trying everything you know and could do to find the animal. Even for days after.... or found yourself weeks after still hoping to find or stumble on it at times.
His problem was the set up. The line between his feet was parallel to the line between the bipod feet. I like no less than 45 degrees between them. It makes one much steadier.
If I could get that frigging video off my phone he would already have it! Sadly, he thinks it will exhonerate him. It will show a bison dead in midair.
I was gonna ask if Sitka deer was a know-it-all-ass-hole in real life, but this answered my question.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
KG made a great shot on that bull......if that is the bull he was aiming at.
I've watched an excited huntress hit a bison other than the intended bison.......not a good thing to explain to the wildlife trooper. I also have seen an excited hunter jump out of his truck and shoot a bull that the rest of the herd gathered around to protect and the hunter fired again....different bison.......two bison down and only one tag.......it turned nasty from there but again the wildlife trooper made their day.
Ha ha, yes my man, that was 100% the bison I was shooting at. He was the only one we were absolutely certain was a bull.
The two scenarios you describe are the stuff nightmares are made of.
As far as the malted barley from Peterson's getting turned into that vodka--which was quite nice indeed-- I'll be damned. Thanks for that, and for everything else. Only a few days after having your surgery you were out there by daybreak looking for bison for me, and I'll not ever forget it.
Just saw I have a PM from you I haven't looked it. Sorry about that. I'll respond soon. I need an address from you as well...

over half the members don't hunt on here Rennie so half zero clue
There's a "famous" long range shooter on here that couldn't admit that he killed an elk by shear luck on one of his too-long of shots. He was monkey jumping like he hit the grand slam to win the World Series.
Weird things happen when shots go down range to all of us at some point. Kudos for trying to get closer, Kamo.
If you hunt, you've made a bad shot or two. Some work out some don't. A dead bison, is a dead bison. I'd say the shot was perfect. There was no day long tracking, no hand wringing, good shot.

My own worst/best shot was at a pheasant. My brother and I had a string of consecutive hits that ran over a couple years. That says more for his shooting than mine, as I was behind a good pointer and he set himself up for the more difficult swing shots. With the dog on point and subsequent flush, I stepped forward for an easy shot right into a knee-deep hole. As the shot rang out I was off the bird by at least a couple feet. The bird veered almost straight up as I'm now on my elbows watching helplessly. After rising about 100 feet, the pheasant was apparently touched by God and fell dead. I couldn't find the hint of a pellet strike anywhere on that bird. Chalk him up, and the string continued.

I've had more animals than I want to admit turn at exactly the wrong time and take it in the wrong place. I've had a few duck like crazy and cause arrows to completely miss.
Great hunt! Thanks Brother.

Lots of people are afraid of criticism on here. We all know the types.
The little hit and run post fuggs. The simmering butthurt types. The ones who run their pieholes but yet never post "Pics or it never happened"
I really dont think anyone is being malicious to KG on this thread concerning the shot. More of a ribbing for a reaction to see where it goes type of thing. Then some back and forth stuff.
I give the cat kudo,s for posting about the shot.
Plus I got sent a txt pic of the buff like a day or 2 after he shot it.
Not much of a convo. Asked if it was on a Rez out west somewhere. Just it was shot on the 22nd or 23rd of oct. Was left hanging on details and this thread filled em in nicely.
Glad KG made this thread. I could only imagine the text length if he told me the story then.
Get calls outta the blue from the guy at times. Lengthy calls. Lot of things have been covered. Stuff I have been wrong on and stuff he has been wrong on. Stuff both of us put together and arrived at a different or same exact perceptions on things versus what either of us actually believed prior.
Hunting stuff. Gun stuff. Growing up stuff.(KG is lucky to be alive actually) Dog stuff.
He is a good dude, and wont hold back what he thinks or sugarcoat schit. Lots of guys on here like that. Those are the cats to interact with no matter what dust ups or whatever has gone down over the course of time.
Big diff having spats with like minded individuals than these chameleon sunsabytches on here.
I know eventually I will have to go to Maine for funeral stuff. And I know on the way back I can call KG and probably meet the dude. Probably even have a drink with him and get on down the Rd back to Tennessee time...
And KG if you wanta eat something if we link up. Homie has ate stuff from all over this rock. I can't do the Jules Vern 20,000 leagues under the sea stuff man. Steamer clams or fried clams with bellies are GTG Lobster is GTG Fish chowdaah is GTG along as it is haddock. Mahi Mahi oven baked over a bed of rice is GTG.
Bout it for homie on the seafood side of the house and it all involves being COOKED 👍👍👍😄😄😄
Other than that.... A good pizza place will suffice. 👍👍👍😄😄😄
All I get is dick picks
No phone calls, no cheesy peanut snacks, no free scope rings
Forgot to thank Ptarmigan for his kind offer to haul any stuff I had left in ANC back here. All set friend, but I do appreciate the offer a bunch.
Pic of my pants back at the inn. Now you understand the previous comment about wishing I had my oilskins on for the breakdown. I was positively swimming in blood--and a monstrous amount of guts-- once we got to opening up the torso.
Other than that.... A good pizza place will suffice. 👍👍👍😄😄😄
Absolutely, and look forward to it. Bring Slummy with you! Pizza can work if that's what you'd like, but I promise it won't be from a Cici's or whatever that joint is...
You Made Meat Brother! Hunted with some Great fellows Rost495 has helped with my 50 Beowulf went on a trip if a Lifetime! Can't get much better than that. Thanks for taking us along!
