South Dakota 2012
I returned home yesterday from SD. I had a great time but for the 1st time out west bird hunting was secondary. I hit on the state draw for one of 11 non res deer tags. I have never shot a Muley before and wanted to do so. I did shoot a decent buck but not a real bragger though. I was happy with him. I shot him over cross sticks at 250 yds. I also filled the doe tag. The processing of 2 deer really ate into the hunting time. The drought took alot of grass spots so phez were tougher than normal. I was a few shy of my possession limit of phez and way off on sharptail grouse because I spent every morning calling coyotes.
P.S
Take a minute and check out the first 3 pictures of a unique rooster I shot last week. The bird shows 90% or more coloration of a hen but as you can has the head of a rooster. The head cap was colored more like a hen ... oh and no spurs whatsoever. I know I should have had him mounted but I didn't .... really tough decision though.
