Just shot him again. 145 yards off sticks, surely I couldn’t have missed.

Heard some crashing in some thick trees then nothing. I can see above him pretty good and he didn’t come out up there. Guide was spotting and didn’t see him come out below.

Haven’t heard anything since the initial noise. Nothing like if he had run off I don’t think.

Pretty sure he is down in those thick trees but going to give him a bit before doing anything.

Will take the guide at least an hour to get over here.

I’ve got my rifle and eyes on the area he was last. Just going to sit for a bit.

Way to go!

Awesome news!

Pretty sure he is down in the middle of those trees. The rock slide just below the aspens is where I shot him Tuesday.

So good to hear!! Can't wait to see him.

That’s great news! Now for some pics!

You have better patience than me!

Shot felt good. I was steady. Only concern was i didn’t hear the hit. If I had heard the hit I would be at 99% confidence level based on everything else.

He may have been closer than 145 yards. Don’t remember ranging him but had ranged some earlier at 145 yards in the vicinity. Ranging where I think he was now it was more like 100 yards.

Shouldn’t be much difference between 100 and 145 yards. Depending on cartridge and zero. I’d guess 1”

He is smoked…. When it doubt, back out! I like the patient slow approach.

In that scree crap, I doubt you would hear a hit at that range.
