With the current federal system tax payers are footing the bill instead of the consumer. Shouldn’t the consumer be the one financially responsible for what they consume?
Took me 1/2 an hour to drag it to camp .07 miles glad it was all down hill.
Shot it at 8:30 had it in camp at 4:30 and was beat. At 55 this re enforces that I will have many years yet to chase elk solo. The quarters were about the same weight as the biggest bull elk I’ve killed other than those...
I was feeling pretty good about where he died other than it was going to be full sun. He was about 150yds from a 50inch or under trail on this old logging road all down hill to camp. It took me 2 1/2 hours to get it all quartered and the log I was setting them on was starting to get sun so had...
When I walked up and gave thanks for the opportunity and how blessed I was, the oh crap moment of how big even a young moose is and trying to get a few pictures by myself in the wide open and how I need to get him broken down before it got too hot.
I also saw my first sign of grizzly bears...
Honey do’s came up lol.
With him still standing there I settled my pin and shot didn’t flinch at all, I didn’t know how fast moose can move they can run faster than any elk or deer, he was out of sight in just a couple seconds about 100yds and heard what I thought might be a stumble. Since he...
With 4 days of archery season left and a cow and bull moose playing hanky panky in the willows 100 yards form my tent for a couple hours making it hard to sleep I thought I would follow the direction they headed in the morning. I started up the draw they were in knowing it went through a saddle...
I will say no elk were harmed with my bow. I had a hard time focusing on moose with elk bugling and very little moose sightings. Most of my moose interactions were after dark or before daylight and it’s hard to distinguish moose tracks from cattle tracks on hard dry ground. I had lots of close...
Finally getting around to closing this thread out. I realize after getting time out in the woods I'm not someone who needs to share my hunting with everyone. I suck at writing and don’t like it. But will share because I know others enjoy seeing and hearing about the adventures.
