Went out for Deer and Javi for a few days. I love hunting this time of year in the desert southwest. I ended up passing on a smaller 3x2 in pursuit of a stud 5x4. I got close to making it happen but couldn't seal the deal on him.
Well, like so often happens, time has slipped away. However, I was supposed to pack up but decided to glass off a productive knob one last time for 5 - 10 mins. Boom! Javis about 1000 yards out! I ended up putting the stalk on them and as I was approaching I noticed one bedded 42 yards to my left. Obscured by brush I needed it to stand while not spooking the others. Sure enough, exactly that happened with a little movement on my end. I let an arrow fly right through the heart and it went 20 yards later.
