Brother don't be offended. I just meant, so many people on here have taken game and not really mentioned it that's all. I don't need pics or videos. I love reading the stories and always give the story teller the benefit of the doubt and assume it happened.

None really taken Mosin. I'm just full of hot air lately and I think a lot of my posts come across as sensitive and b**chy. I think walks with deer nailed the diagnosis and solution LOL

I know what you mean though. It would be cool if these stories were coming up more in season and some more pics would be cool. I am guessing a lot if these stories happen over a lifetime too and perhaps even predate HBC.

Keep em coming guys and gals

I'm mostly a bush hunter so plenty of red stags under 10m with closest being 1m. A sika stag at 4m while sitting on ground in thick scrub last April was a buzz.
Another big buzz was my guide calling up a 5x5 2yr elk bull that came so close I tried to jab him in the butt with my rifle barrel. Just a foot short.
I'm not sure whether the bull or my guide got the biggest fright.
I used to farm elk and know where they kick. Great fun.

Buffalo Bull and I, walking nose to nose, my left hand holding his right horn, my right hand with a knife in his throat.

A black tail at about 30 feet all I saw is a scope full of fur from the old fixed 4x had to wave it around a bit to confirm it was actually the shoulder I was holding on. Everything else probably 30 yards and up.
