Great photos and write up of an amazing hunt, wow, just wow! Bummer about the truck break down but you will remember all of this hunt for the rest of your life, priceless! The brisket and steak look mouthwatering good!
Thanks for sharing
The finale:
My fish hits the deck and the high fives start. Someone says 250, someone else says 300. I think no way did I just kill a super cow. Captain Matt comes over with the tape. He goes and looks at the chart and says 254! Later at the scale 268. NO WAY. Fight time, over an hour, the...
Sorry about that, i pasted it below.
DOES THIS STORY EVER END…
Captain says we off to Mag Bay to make bait and headed for the Lower Banks to hunt cows. Wait, what, am I ready for this? Remember what Tony said?
I always wanted to see Mag Bay. Well guess what, in the dark you don’t see much...
WAIT! WHAT? Did that just happen? Now what? Now how the heck do we get this trophy out of the breaks?
We had cell service about a 1/4 mile south. I text our Lewistown friends and ask if they can bring the boat. The logical way to get this ram out is via the river. We could pack it back out of...
This photo is the two smaller rams harassing big boy, which causes him to relocate
I take both our backpacks and put them back to back for a rest. I sit down and see what it looks like. We try several combos with shooting sticks and packs but finally it looks like the back to back packs is the...
Oct 16th. I have really gotten used to the camper and camp site, seems a bit like a dream that will go on forever. If you have read this far, you a probably thinking this story is past forever. I am enjoying every morning; start the coffee, check the weather, go visit “the woods” and have a...
This is day 14 of the hunt, this appears to be a nice ram, 180ish. I am very tempted but Dean needs to head home and deal with some obligations. He leaves and I a hem and haw about what to do. Also, it is very warm out again. Can I pack it out myself? Do I want to do that? I drive a bit, and...
Oct 9. We spotted a new ram from Bob’s knob this morning. The ram is a mile away, did I mention I added a Leica rangefinder to my pack? With the Swaro it is easy to see he isn’t the one. We head to the river, we refind Pretty Boy, today he is at 325 yards. Maybe he is the back up if I can’t find...
Sean is like wow, that is very nice ram. Dean say he is a nice ram but you can do better and please don’t screw-up this fall. In other words it is early. I decide to pass. That night I lie awake thinking, did I do the right thing? Enjoy the journey. You wait 30-40 years for a tag, do you want...
