Eased up the mountain last week to a spot that’s always been pretty good. Haven’t seen a whole lot of acorns but sat on a good trail intersection coming out of the laurel. This slob came through about 4:30 heading up the ridge and offered up a 26 yard shot. Ambled off after the shot and fell over 36 yards away in the laurel. Guessing he was at least 4 bills. Got him quartered and in the packs and to the truck we went cussing every blowdown. Head/hide, 4 quarters and backstraps weighed 234lbs on my scale the next morning. Ended up leaving neck meat, ribs, and fat for the critters due to temperature, time, and distance.
