Skillet Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hey everybody, we just got back from PA. I bought my girflriend a ram hunt for Christmas @ Mohr's island hunts, in Bainbridge, PA. This was the first time she's taken anything bigger than a squirrel. Say what you will about preserves, but this was a real hunt. The rams were very skittish and spooky. The island is 1 mile long and varies from 200 yds wide to over 400 yds wide. We found a group of 8 rams, and this one was out in the front. She made an awesome 55 yd shot with her Mossberg 20Ga. Broadside, double lung. He dropped and kicked once. I am really proud of her. The guides were great, really putting effort forth, to make it safe and enjoyable for everyone. You can't beat the price. $350.00, included field care and lunch. I talked her into a shoulder mount, and we're having it made into a lot of sausage. She used to be an anti - hunting vegetarian. I guess she has really come around! Can't wait for turkey season!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BizCT Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I dont know if you can legitimately consider a 1-day preserve hunt a "real hunt", but to each its own I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skillet Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) I dont know if you can legitimately consider a 1-day preserve hunt a "real hunt", but to each its own I guess. Not biting. It was real enough for her and I, so let's leave it at that. Edited March 5, 2012 by Skillet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYBowhunter Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yep don't go there skillet, some people find it hard just to say a simple congrats. As long as you and her had fun that's all that matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skillet Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 How about a couple more pics of the GF instead? Just kidding bud, congratulations!!! LOL! Yeah, she's good looking. I don't think she has very good eyesight. Still have not been able to figure out what she sees in me. She's a physician's assistant, and has a lot of doctors (and others in that field who have paychecks a lot bigger than mine) falling all over themselves for her. But she hooked up with me, a not too well off, state employed truck driver / pothole filler. I try not to look too deeply into it, I'm just thankful to have her.
