Texas heart shot it is!

Maybe we could debate the ethics of long range shots or fixed blade vs mechanical while we're waiting. Pretty sure those never got hashed out.

Welcome to hunttalk - O.P.

I got the call of a lifetime yesterday morning. I was selected for a DAV moose hunt in Idaho this fall. I can't thank Bryan (@brymoore) for setting me up with IWF and getting me sponsored into this. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. The biggest thing I've killed was a couple of cow elk. This is all new to me and I'm still trying to come to terms with it and starting logistics. We'll be in unit 73. Does anyone have info on the area, such at rutting dates and butchers in the area or anyone who lives near wanting to stop in camp for a beer? Would I be better off hunting the rut or waiting until after deer season? Ugh....so much to think about and take in and plan....

I don't usually do this but.. John, can you tell me where your honey hole is? You guys were in the moose

Come on Cush!!! We’re jonesing for the details. Guys are so desperate that they’re resorting to passing the time by reading my hunt recap… which sucks in comparison

The moose was standing there staring at John....Fine I will make up the story!

The moose was standing there staring at

the finest crew of hunters ever assembled.
Quiet! John barked as he finished his jalapeño popper. Bryan and Brian had been arguing over the proper English spelling of their names when

Bambi, the midget stripper, staggered out of the tent. She stretched her tiny arms and said

Is that broadside, quartering to, quartering away, frontal or Texas heart shot?

Headshots, or the femoral artery, every other shot is too easy. #rightbetweenthefuggineyes

Accidental femoral artery shot with a recurve on a small Shiras bull here.

He jumped the string and I had a sickening feeling as I saw that the arrow was going to hit way far back. However, as soon as the arrow hit, it looked as if an unseen hand was pulling a red ribbon from the bull’s hip. I knew I had a bull. I watched him go down. I don’t think he went 30 yards.

Accident is one thing. There’s 2 separate pics of mule deer on the “great social media posts” thread, 1 with an arrow in the head and 1 with an arrow sticking out of a bucks ass. Both original posters said that was their only shots.

At the surprise of Bambi strolling in wearing nothing but a loin cloth and rabbit fur tassels John inhaled a popper and began a coughing fit. Brian and Bryan started arguing... yet again that John was coughing from the cigarettes or the gas caused by the poppers as everyone was reenacting the Blazing Saddles "campfire seen".

I have a trophy pic on my phone! Happy for John!

This is almost as good as reality. Keep it going!

Easy for you to say Gerald you were there for the live version. We are setting here like Netflix addicts waiting on the next episode of Tiger King to come out!

 

[Gerald Martin]

The guys were standing around the campfire, John was napping in his truck as I came run walking down the hill waving my arms.

“John, you wanna shoot a moose?”

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

“Don’t you have your own hunt recap to finish up there @Hilljackoutlaw?”

I should get to it tonight if the service allows.
