This is cool....I have a 4" 629..and have killed pigs with it..but never this kinda challenge....One bragging animal I killed was an antelope 6 years ago with my 4" S&W 44. One shot at about 20 yards, but what made me feel good was the fact that I had to crawl over 400 yards to get to that range and was never seen. There was a very shallow wash that I was able to crawl up in, and it was a long stalk, but it was worth it.
I'm never bored when I'm in the woods, and I've been hunting for five decades. When I'm in the woods, it's about relaxation. Taking it easy, going slow, seeking a more harmonious outcome. The venison is secondary at this stage of my life. It's also about exploration, seeing what's over that next hill, or watching the water swirl in a deep pool.tahunua said:how do you challenge yourselves on hunts when the same ole hunt gets boring?

Good one Jim Bob....I have been hunting the past 6 yrs with my wife....Also a SIL that was not raised in the woods as I was....I have started hunting with my G-son now....It is nice to pass on experiences and watch them learn....Hunting is never boring, and always more challenging, as well as more rewarding, when you take along new young hunters with little to no experience.
I'll be mentoring two new hunters this November.
Niether has ever hunted.
Niether ever owned a gun before. One has already got her rifle and done some practicing.
I do not claim to know everything, but what I fail to pass on I may as well have not known anyway ......
Today 10:19 AM
never did think of mentoring a new hunter... don't know anyone that want to get into it though so I guess I have to go befriend some open minded city slickers
