Shoot or No Shot 2026, Episode #1

[WapitiTalk1]

Let's get some of these going again during the loooooong off season.

Date: Mid September, 2026
Location: SW Montana
Hunt: Archery partner hunt; branch bull tag
Situation: Nice job being patient! You have set up as shown and did an advertising session for a good 25 minutes. You (shooter) catch movement from your 2 o'clock and here comes this fine fellow. Your partner (caller) sees him also and gives a nervous grunt stopping the bull in his tracks where he stands now, 25 yards from you (shooter). You're at full draw with good cover to your back...... Shoot or no shot?

If you're shooting, download the image (Paint works well for this), place a "dot" on the pic where you're shooting, and repost the pic in your answer.

It all depends.. But I wish my partner would have waited just a moment longer on that grunt of had been facing the tuber away .

Otherwise I let him take a few more steps forward to draw. And for as better broadside shot archery shot, or maybe put his head down or was I already at full draw? Partner goofed
