This hunt was awesome. I'm glad Oscar came up and spent the time he did. Which included missing his kids 2nd birthday. We had a good time but we never saw the quality of bulls I saw during the archery season. The early snow really messed things up, pushing the cows and bigger bulls into the lower counrty. I could of shot a bunch of lesser bulls but I had my mind set on a good bull and I never saw it during the rifle season. I may have messed up by passing on the front-end-bull but I just don't think he had all it took to make the benchmark I had set. Even though Buzz and Oscar really thought I should shoot that bull.I talked to IDB a long time over this. I told him I wasn't going to Shoot anything pior to him for looking like a Greed puss or taking advantage (Per prior comments you pricks). I was Rooting for him too. He ALWAYS had first dibs on Any Elk we saw and I went early for him in the Bow and would have stayed as long as he needed me too for him as well. (Although both wives were putting on the pressure after 10 days
) But IDB wasn't going to shoot anything under 330. And after a mutual Green light passed.... BOOM
Usual rule is whoever spots it first get's first dibs... and since he saw them ALL first... he would have had dibs anyways..But seriously, even after I shot my elk I spent 4 days brushing, glassing and Cuttleing with him for support. Thats how we roll, help each other out
T'was a great hunt. I could have held out the first day and passed, but I would have come home empty handed or with a lot less of a bull. We all have to decide when to drop the hammer and/or call it quits and I am very happy, Even with a "dink sub 300 bench mark" class bull
Thanks for the Kudos. The year isn't over yet, Although for Elk it pretty much is for me. Like I said, we all have to decide when to drop the hammer or call it quits and right now I have some home time to make up before I leave for Deer ....
Thanks to Moosie, IDB, Buzz, Ovis, Oak, Greenhorn, & the many others who've supplied the pics & stories for a spectacular season thus far. The magazine quality photos, text, humor & fellowship have helped make my yearly wait getting back to Colorado more bearable.
...another fine animal Oscar.
