So a young buck was giving me grief the other day about the size of my bou on the wall and I fed him my "should see the one that got away" line. He scoffed at that so I dug out my moldy albums and digitalized my "proof"

For those of you who know caribou, specifically Q/L, is he as big as my missing makes him seem to my mind? I can still see the arrow skimming his brisket at 50 yards like it was yesterday!

I played with him and his bachelor herd for 1/2 a day before losing my cool and trying the long shot which of course I shouldn't have tried. Got as close as 40 with his buddies at 10 blocking any closer approach.

Here he is at 40... didn't like the angle.








After the shot, busted!




walking out of my life...



never to be seen by me again.
 
Wow, that is a trophy. But atleast you have pictures of the one that got away, and not just a story. Most guys dont have a picture to go back to and look at. I wish i had a pic of my "one that got away",
 
Did you go on this hunt with the 10k mossback paid you? You should of just waited for December and shot him in waist deep snow. Squirrel style!
