    They have to be the dumbest big game animal in existance. The only thing you know for sure is they are going to run, They don't even have a clue which way they will run.
    I finally tagged one yesterday morning, the fool ran out of my way twice before I finally nailed it.

    That's what them big tube bumpers are for, I trust you have one. I asked a guy once how those worked, he said, he hadn't hit anything yet, but was kind of looking forward to it,,:biggrin_2559:

    Yes you do have a clue where they will run.

    Not in the snow drift they wont. But right in the road with you.

    The safety guy at one of the companies I worked years ago told us to never admit that you hit an animal, always say the animal ran into you!

    Have had one for 10 years or more, leaning against the shop.
    Technically I still have one, but just because he hsn't picked it up. I gave it away a couple of weeks ago. lol

    Truck, no rifles on the haul road, except for furbearers.

    You are right, this one missed me twice before it got me. lol
