Coach Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Matt and I went out opening morning and got into a nice herd right away. Had some really close encounters but couldn't get a shot initially with them moving in and out of the big cactus. I could have waited for a closer shot but had this guy broadside at 50 and felt good about the shot. He turned away just as I shot so the entry was a litte forward and the exit was through the opposite cheek, but he dropped in his tracks (and my arrow never hit the dirt ) Fun way to start the Spring javi season! These pix are a little blurry - they're screenshots of some of the video Matt was able to capture. It was his first time video taping a hunt, so we didn't get quite as much good footage as we would have liked. Plus when he ran over to me with the camera after mine was down, I was taping for several minutes butdidn't realize until later the camera was on stand-by. Grrrrr. Now it's time for the boys' hunts at the end of the month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
