Moosies Back, Idaho Boulder Creek Hunt

[ashersdad]

Welcome back. Sounds like a fun hunt. That is a very nice buck. I have heard of people that pick their nose in their sleep but to blame it on a poor defenseless elk is a little much .

My guess is 165 on the score. Coke through the nose burns man. My bad.

Ole, You're right. It's funny how things progress. I'm not wanting to Downplay my buck. If I killed that buck in my normal hunting spot I would have been happier. That sounds bad but I hope you guys understand what I'm saying ?!?!? Although it's not liek I killed it opening morning, Athough The first day I passed one alot better ...Maybe I'm hunting with Idaho Bugler to much ? My wife thinks so. Something about "Just shoot something, stop passing things up, and come home" I always here any more.

(Did that sound like Tom wrote that >@!>@>@ Just wondering.. )

That being said, I was happy from the standpoint of a GREAT hunt. Saw more big bucks then ever before. Went solo, which I usually never do, but Camped with some great people. I passed up some really good bucks and saw alot of 6 point Elk too. If I didn't want the buck I wouldn't have pulled the trigger. I'm happy from that point, but .....there were others

Tim Craig (the outfitter) is the type of guys that I liked from the get-go and as the week went by only grew closer to him. Maybe cuz we're both on the Warped sence path or something too Hell, I might even guide for him next year for a week. I did feed and water horses, pack out some elk and deer, covered alot of ground and opened alot of gates. Opening gates get you a gold star

A few good guess's so far on the score.......... I'll have to find a better picture cuz it's a 4x5, It has a Couple inch on the Left antler of the deer. In the first picture you can almost see it. I'll load up another picture tomorrow.

The next picture is the result of helping a Co-hunter get out a 6 point bull and having the Bull slip and an Antler hitting me in the face knocking me off the ground downhill. I’ve flown 10’ from a punch in the face but never from an Elk. There is a first for everything. I'm just glad it didn't break the nose, Although I was sore for days !!!

Sometimes you get the elk, sometimes the elk gets you. Congrats on the buck.
