Title: Finally got it done!
Post by: wvmntnhick on April 22, 2018, 11:48:14 AM
After a couple cases of misfortune, I've managed to get on the board this morning. I've managed to blow 2 golden opportunities on 2 very good birds but managed to get this one on the ground today. Was hunting with a buddy of mine and we both rolled out with birds over our shoulders today. It was super cool too because his bird was his first ever. Anyway, pics are on the scoring thread. Congrats to all who have scored already and those still to come.

Thanks man and if I could find a way to keep from messing up a good thing, I'm certain that two of the birds I've managed to mess up on were bigger than this one. But, I'm satisfied with the one I've got. No complaints at all. Good luck in the Princeton area.

Honestly, I was kinda rushing this morning to get it done and get to church. There are pics in the scoring thread of the measurements but I didn't get to take many glory shots. Here's about the best I've got.
