With a line up and a bang, it was all over.
Happy first elk hunter. Got a nice elk for his first one. I shot many a spikes before I got my first branch antlered elk.
He didn't pack out much but he learned that there is a lot of work to do on an elk. He was one tiered Mo'Fo'.
But the...
I'd like to get it done, But dang things keep getting in the way. In addition to helping Bugler pack out his Stud elk we've had Dove hunting for the kids. Anyone thats been around knows I have 4 boys and a little girl. This year is my 3rd Oldests turn "Parker". He was able to get out and lay the...
We did see some goats that trip but none up close. Look at this goat "Clilaxin'":
It was with a few others :
Here was a goat I took a picture of about 2 miles away. Hard to get a good picture at that distance :
The goat came in from the right, we tried from the left. Unfortunately it...
Water is over rated. Look how much you had to give to me to drink to lighten your pack.
Our trip went well. I'll type more when I get a chance but we did see some goats. I spotted one that I wanted to go after but it was a log ways off. We were never close enough to any of the goats to get a...
Fella's, I'm a big disappointment in the goat story department. I skipped my goat hunting this weekend to help out a buddy pack out his elk. I still could have gone goat hunting but I was a little sore and had some other stuff to catch up on.
I don't want to steal his thunder more than I did...
I knew I had forgotten something. It was to update you guys. It has been a terrible opening 2 weeks of the season. The opening 3 day weekend I was sick. I still managed to go out in the snow and see a goat. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it.
Since then I've had 2 deaths in the...
MICA, well needed moisture is coming this weekend. Whats the Visibility there like ? Still Smokey ? It's been bad. See my goat thread : http://onyourownadventures.com/hunttalk/showthread.php?t=263952
Sucky !! Hopefully this weekend does what I'm hoping it will.
So I just came across this thread, Why didn't someone give me the heads up :)
I'm anxious to head about your endeavors. I was one of the successful ones and was in with T-Bone and UtraHunter both. I'm the sexy one on both hunts ;)
Melton (Or his Gang) Reads these forums too. I never had any...
Is it bad I didn't make it out opening weekend ??? I'll be out this coming weekend. My amazing and EPIC story with pictures is quiet the dud so far. Time to grab the Loin cloth and make this story happen !!!
Oak, I was looking for the "LIKE" button on your quoted text.
You don't think I'd actually post a picture of where I'm going, do you ;)
Idaho does suck, only wolves left. Frank Church, Sawtooth, Challis Nation Forest
and the likes are like the Lion King plains after Scar took over.
I have someone going with me tomorrow. Not sure the smoke situation will be any better.
It's opening weekend and I'm not bringing my gun. Think I'll regret it ? I have a habit of pulling the trigger so I thought it best to leave it at home not to get tempted. I want one with a nicer coat and I...
When I woke up the Idaho Fall Fires brought in the smoke with them. the sun looked cool though :
No Goats, but fun hiking non the less :
I coughed all night because of the Smoke and Allergies and although I'd like to blame my wrinkle eyes on the smoke alone, I have to admit I'm aging...
Scouting Trip
Season opens this weekend. I'm heading out tomorrow. Hard to think so much time has passed and zero scouting has been done. I'm not worried, hunts always work out though :)
I went out last week and as you can see I still look "studly" and wear appropriate hats.
I brought up...
