My kind of hunting. If I know a good one is using a clear cut I'm going to slip around in it until I get him up. I kill my fair share of 5 yr old plus bucks doing this. It ain't for the faint of heart, sometimes they'll get up right on top of you. I like a BAR .270, sometimes it takes a shot or two or three to catch up with him, sometimes you don't catch up. I have no doubt that I would of never killed or even seen many of these old bucks if I hadn't walked them up.
