Washington Success

boneaddict · Oct 15, 2006

Here was my opener up in the Methow. Success in the mountains. I was aiming for something bigger and even turned one down that was, but this hunt turned out so picture perfect. It was just what I had planned, just wish he had been about 40 inches. I chose to hunt with the longbow instead of my rifle and saw this guy and was able to cut him off to ambush him. I hit him at 20 yards. He whirled and ran down under the big rock in the background. He started to try to climb the hill when he collapsed. Another kill this year with the Sapphire Longbow.
