...a 6 & 1/2 year-old billy and a beautiful lady. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/11/full-40213-322326-img_20211113_175004.jpg) The day before I was taken to my physical limit and beyond , trying to get to a 10" billy before it got too late in the day. I couldn't make it and I quite possibly would have blown the shot from exhaustion anyways. The general area: ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/11/full-40213-322327-img_20211113_175252.jpg) The approach to recover. He was still a ways up over the top lip of the drainage in the picture. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/11/full-40213-322328-img_20211113_175108.jpg) He stopped and looked back at "his" nanny just as I shot. The bullet went high through his shoulder and clipped the back of his skull and brain, hence the blood. About 155 yards with a .300WM, shooting off a mossy boulder (that dropped off straight to the water  ), shooting across the drainage. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/11/full-40213-322329-img_20211113_175206.jpg) 'Whole new respect for the country (SE Alaska.) I'm now gonna go sit in a cozy deer blind at one of my "killing areas". I might even click on the Mr. Buddy heater.

Thanks very much to all! Awesomeness Creek, true awesomeness. It going to the house or the ranch? 'Bit of a quandary. Space is a problem. Negotiations with Grammy will be carefully and artfully begun soon after I get home. I'll have to ponder an approach.

Nice bloody goat. (In my British accent)
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Negotiations with Grammy will be carefully and artfully begun soon after I get home. I'll have to ponder an approach. bring flowers and be effusive with praise on her giving you the time off and space you could get to this point. Play it up, player!

Congratulations on your successful hunt. I can't even imagine the physical effort it takes to hunt that beautiful but rugged country.
