I just wanted to take a second to post a quick thank you to all the forum members who have helped me this season with there words of advise and encouragement .
After several years of trying with very little success , I finally tagged a little two point blackt tail in the country behind Pemberton .
Rack was absolutely tiny , with two points on one side and a single spike on the other .
The body was fairly decent though and gave me quite a job of cleaning , boning and packing out about two km back to my truck .
Put him down with a single 150grn 30-06 through the lungs at what I would have guessed to be about sixty yards { I don't even remember shouldering my rifle or taking off my lens caps }.
I do remember seeing his front legs buckle and hearing a single bleat , I don't think he took one step.
Sorry , no pictures , I actually didn't even think to take any until I had his guts half out , not to mention I only had my cell and it sucks .
Don't tell the C.O.s , but I was so amped up I actually forgot to cut my tag until the same moment {oops !}.
Anyways , thanx again to everyone who's been encouraging me for the last year , and good luck to everyone else who has a tag left .
