Nicely done, TF…especially without blood.
Haven’t heard great reports on the WW on blood trails but everyone has their pets. I know a couple where the lady worked for the university in TX doing research on hogs. They started a hog hunting operation. When one was lost, even from their Jagerhund, they’d keep searching and follow the aerial predators till it was located…
She did Necropsy on those dead hogs…found large % were 3 blade shot with tip damage… many of the 3 blades today are much better built, but driving lower draw (under 50#) myself, I prefer to stick with 2 blades. Takes an extra measure of energy to push 3 cutting edges thru, so I stick with 2.
But you did a masterful job on recovery! Looks to be a fine eating size. I’ve always admired that coloration. I would love to be able to afford to do like a full hide mount like a bear rug on one of that color, were I ever so fortunate, but mounting/tanning costs are way up!
Again, CONGRATULATIONS!
