I did shot him with my rifel,I will allways in the back of my mind regret it a bit, it was only a 100 yard shot.I did want to try and take one with my muzzel loader but I guess I can do that in another state.
I was under a bit of presure the area I planned to hunt I didnt think anybody would be there,one friday there were two other rigs there scouting it out,one moved on and went up north"he ended up with a 14 inch buck" the other was a local guy who was not in a hurry but was looking for a decent buck" he had just got back from a nevada hunt and shot a 85 inch buck"and the fact that I had only found two bucks on the blm ground in this are made for a easy decision to go with the rifel.
