Yup so far this season would have had 2 nice ones with a shotgun I just keep telling myself archery is life lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANYFISH2 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Archery ia certainly a different bird! I too would probably have had a nice tom as well if I had a shotgun tag. The biggest draw back for me is It make me much less Mobile. A new test of my patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
