Just thought I would drop a few lines and some photos about my first hunt of the 2009 season.  Things were looking a bit grim, but, as I’ve said many times before, perseverence will pay off.  This California blacktail drove that point home to me, when I drove a Tight Point tipped FMJ through the boiler room.  Enjoy the photos.
