Mark one attempt down, but I still have time to try again tonight.

Ok, who's bright idea was it to make a "1s1k" comp with iron sights only AND >50m?? Ugh! Moose that are only "body shot" do not die!
Tomorrow night is a late night for me... I'll see if I can make another - and much more successful! - attempt at this on Friday.
Attempt #2 blown: no submission. Hunt link:

ARGH!!! Well, here is where "you don't know what you don't know" comes into play... and how I can screw up on the RoE no matter what!!!
"NO PLATFORMS ALLOWED".... I *thought* that meant "no tree stands, no stands, no towers..." nothing that got you up off the ground to give you a better view.
In retrospect, I think lucked out completely on this attempt. How?
Well, when I harvested the moose I shot, I got the notice that I completed the "Camper's Delight" mission. Cool- a bonus!
I paused the game, went to go activate the next mission and see just what it was I accidently accomplished.
"Campers Delight: Harvest a Moose Bull with at least 18 typical points from a Treestand, Blind, Tripod Stand or Tower." I was confused, as I didn't use any of those... and then I had a dreadful thought.
"Tripod
Stand". I was using the Tripod
Rest! Was that counting as a platform??
I took a quick look at the moose's scoresheet... and sure enough, there under "Platform" was the tripod rest!!
SO... I think I lucked out on this one as, even though I had
also already harvested a bear, I was only in the game for 16+ minutes. It's not like I had hours invested that were all wasted because I was unknowingly breaking one of the RoE's the entire time.
Attempt #3 - no submission. Hunt link:

One last chance for a submission... now I get to 'white-knuckle' it too, BCKidd...
(and if by any chance, that tripod
rest WAS allowable... I don't' wanna know about it now!
