Hey guess what? It happened again this morning! I was on the same buck, got within 50 yards only to have a group of different bucks come in below my wind and blow everything out of there. I know what you mean by "when it all comes together", been fortunate to be on the other side. I'm going to...
Well I can say I know exactly how you feel. I won't get into too many details but have you ever been within 30 yards of a 190+ buck and couldn't get a shot? I think I shed a tear this morning when it happened. I guess that's part of hunting but definitely a terrible feeling of disappointment...
Was able to harvest this buck on the second day of the hunt, August 16th in NW Wyoming. Took him at 71 yards drinking out of a water hole. The Ramcat BH performed perfectly and he was down within 80 yards of the shot. Didn't have much time to take field pics as it was 90+ and had to get him...
+1 with what Justin is saying....I currently have switched to a 12" B-Stinger with 4 oz out front and has helped with my groups from 50-70 yards tremendously!
I also passed this year, I had my app filled out and everything but at the last minute I decided not to put in. I too am hoping they realize they need the DIY non-resident, we'll see!
Evan,
Unfortunately I didn't take any pics of the entry/exit due to running low on light and needing to make quick work of him. You can see the size of the hole on the entry in a few of these pics. If I remember right, you could've easily fit a golf ball in the entry hole!
