So a couple of my Buddies have been scouring southern Alberta for a Muley worthy of consideration for my Partner's first bow hunt run over there. They have found a few, and perhaps even a whitetail worthy of looking at...

In the meantime, they wandered home a couple days back, only to find this handsome lad on a neighbor's front lawn:

Apologies for the poor quality, all he had on him was his ancient cellphone, but you get the idea.
And yeah, I've already offered to bring over my long tow rope!! :lol:

Partner has been shooting a lot, and come a long way in a short period.
Broadhead testing yesterday (after dozens of field point trials) was excellent.
Very tight groups all the way from 30 through 100 yards.

40 Yards

60 Yards

Image

80 Yards

100 Yards

This man is READY! :thumbup:

All that remains is us getting him within range of a good one now.
Cross the fingers for us that the Goddess of The Hunt shines a little our way this go!

Rolling Friday, back in November...

Best of Luck to all still holding tags!

Cheers,
