Always better to be prepared! CongratsThat's freaking awesome!!! I didn't get to try it out unfortunately, I found my antelope in a very stalk-able spot, the rest is history!
No fall bear for me. Had a shot at a big one opening weekend at 350 yards and missed. My buddy had a shot at one, same distance same weekend and whiffed as well. So we had our opportunities but didn’t take them. There’s always next year.My #1 goal for this fall is to kill a bear during the CO sept rifle season. I know it’s gonna take a lot of luck and time and it’ll cost me days I could spend chasing dusky grouse and ptarmigan, which are also high on my list, but bear has been on my mind for a few years now.
Whiteys or muleys over 160?My first goal of an archery elk crashed and burned. Terrible season for me; super quiet elk, a feeling that I was constantly going to the wrong place, a couple days sick including a 1am ambulance ride and ER visit. Just a sucky September overall. I saw a grand total of one branch antler bull which was a tiny 5 point at over 300 yards and maybe heard 20 total bugles from 4 buls; only one of which bugled more than twice
I did get some really great private lined up for my wife’s deer hunt so hopefully that part turns around. I know of three deer off the property last year all over which were over 160
Muleys. I think the property has potential to produce a big whitetail also which may put me in a tricky spot should we find one. She will have priority though regardlessWhiteys or muleys over 160?
First trip with rifles in hand. Ofer.Fourth try at getting my wife a deer.
She’s got an either sex tag here in Idaho, so maybe
Update #3.1. Get back on the train of shooting an antelope with my bow. Last year was the first in 6 years I didn't kill a goat with the bow.
2. Shoot a WY mule deer with the bow. I'd like to find a good buck, I'll base my standards on what I am seeing when I get there. I won't just shoot a buck to fill the tag tho, a week chasing deer with a bow is well worth the tag price.
3. Hunt a big bull in MT with the bow. I have a cow tag also, so there is a little incentive here to actually hold out.
4. Help my brother shoot his first bull with his bow. He shot a cow last year, so trying to up the ante here.
5. Find a big buck to hunt in AZ for my draw tag. Just seeing a 180"+ deer would be awesome.
6. Help my family on their respective deer/elk rifle hunts in MT. I need to be productive on my hunts in archery to make this happen.
7. Help my youngest brother find a really nice pronghorn in MT. There is some nice bucks walking around, hopefully we can find one
Update: #1 accomplished...
May the hunting gods shine down upon thee.I’m on the sidelines for the next 4 weeks. Hernia that had to be done two days ago. It will be tough to fill six tags now.
Accomplished both.Kill my first muley on our biannual Wyoming trip. More specifically, finally hold out for better than the first legal buck I see.
