I screwed the pooch today and figured this was the best place to take my licks. I dropped the hammer on an 8 that was way too young and way to narrow in an antler restriction county. I feel like hell about it and really have no excuse or reason...I hadn't seen a deer all day and when I ranged him at 175 he looked good. A shot and short walk later and I was on the phone with the game warden apologizing for costing him a trip up the hill on a Sunday.
The worst part is that I had been trying to explain the new restrictions to my daughter while we were on the stand the day before and then I went and did this. The game warden is a great guy, very professional and said he should "beat me with a wet noodle...", then he wrote me up and we had an hour or so BS session.
