Well, How did my hunt go ?~?~? Not too bad actually. Sat morning I took off on a SOLO deal… I hiked pretty far back up this ridge. There was a Fella that was ahead of me, but I tried to use him to my advantage as he crossed the Canyon. I stayed Ridge high and Kept climbing…. Snow Came in and I had new boots (NOT waterproof) and gave up after fog set in for over 1 hour.
Here is a Picture of me (timer) … Notice the COOL HAT
I had that one made.. And I have a BETTER one for the ELK picture *SMILE*
I made it back to Camp around 1:00 PM… I took off the Wet boots and got a Quick bite. I was just laying down when Warren knocked at the Door around 1:30 PM. I jumped up, Got dressed (WITH WARM BOOTS) and headed to the hills….
I gave Warren a bad time about Not shooting a dinky 2 point or 3 point… He said Any “4” would do. He’s killed a few big un’s. Anyways, We hit the top of the first ridge after 2.5 hours and sat and glassed. Just when We were getting up, I saw a BUCK across canyon. I took the binoc’s off of it for a Second and It was GONE ?~?~?~ Well… Warren said he was going to work up the canyon. I headed 50 yards down the ridge line to “SET UP” I saw that buck after only 20-30 mins.I kept my goggles on it for 5 mins before it brought it’s head out from the bush so I knew it was that buck. I glassed it for almost 45 more mins hoping Warren would make it back to shoot it. It was Approaching a Canyon and Finally I decided to Shoot because It go within range "418 Yards"(and yes, I had the range finders).
I laid the x-hairs between the Cavity and Necked and.. WHOOO-APP. Down like a brick. I waited for Warren expecting him to meet me quick but he didn’t get there for another 45 mins. When he walked up I told him NOT to ask how big it was and NOT to ask were I shot it. (It was the SIZE and DISTANCE "LOCATION" I told him NOT to shoot one) He said, Well Looks like Both of us have our hands full. He wacked a 2 point up the canyon a ways… He shot 10 mins after I did, But I couldn’t hear him from were I was at. Funny thing was He heard me shoot. We laughed and We headed out for the night. He had his Gutted But I wouldn’t have made it to mine, And it was in the snow so I knew it was OK. That was the Farthest 418 Yards EVER !!! It was Down one slide face and up another face covered in snow, then over a Crest into a draw. When I shot the deer it fell into that draw. I’ll be back there later this year and take a picture… Hikeing out I was so Tiered I didn’t think about it…
I didn’t bring a Tripod and I was in there by Myself getting mine out while Warren got his out. But here’s a few Pics of my deer. Also, It was Raining a bit so the pics are a Tad Blurry.
