I dunno dude... added another 200+pounds and limped her outta there...But more importantly ...let's get to the XXL Mammal that is current in the cooler...what hunt this morning with my boy...just glad I was able to stand there and do nothing again....Wowza! Gotta love public land...He's pumped!!! One shot to the throat with the old 257wbymag and 120 nosler partition (lead) and he he never took a step out of his bed... sniper style!
