Yeah I was going to try but the other was about 200 to 225 yards. We bait them and I didn’t want to take the chance on missing. With my 12.5 I havent shot anything farther that 150 with. So I was playing it safe. We are up to 13 so far the month, it’s one of most killed we have gotten. I’ll get another chance.
