Very. I bet you dont do that again any time soon!I used to skin snapping turtles as a young guy, and we would often times find the heart still beating slightly once we were inside their shells. They are some of the toughest critters I've ever seen.Isn't that wierd?

You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

The second jack I took with the .204 had a heart seperation issue as well. Head gone, front legs hanging in a bush and the heart laying 5-feet away on an old game trail...crazy!
