Had a chance to score him yet Colby? I've got a big cold front pushing through tonight, and staying throughout the week. I'll try to get out tomorrow after work, but can't promise anything. Temps were in the 80's todaay, so I slept in and brushed a blind in, moved a stand, and checked my cameras. I will be hitting it hard every chance I get with this weather coming in.
Good luck Scott, things should really be heating up soon! This will be my last "slouching" weekend. From now till the end of November I'll be hitting it every chance I get. Going with my dad next weekend, then that Wed., going to Wisconsin for 5 days. I'm pumped!
Genious me forgot to do the circumfrance measurements I knew he was a little bigger than what I was coming up with. Will get the official measurements tomo Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Colby, you are the man! Congrats my friend! I knew a little wind wouldn't keep a typical 25 pound Colorado boy from hunting! Now we need to get you a doe! The elk hunt went pretty well. My sister and I divided the two kentucky boys up-she took one and I took the other. By day's end on Saturday,I placed my hunter in sight of 22 elk-three bulls and 19 cows. He missed a bull at 200 yards. This morning, I had him within 30 yards of a young button bull for a good ten minutes. We were waiting for something with real antlers to show up...it didn't happen and the youngster walked away. An hour later a shot echoed across the hilltops. A quick check on the radio and sure enough my sister's hunter landed his first elk. Not the biggest, but it was definitely earned! We spent the rest of Sunday packing elk 1-3/4 miles back to the truck. Luckily it was all downhill! It's your day tomorrow Tony!
Will congrats to the Kentucky boys way put them on some Wapiti. PT hope your out hunting same of NY. Good luck guys. Sounds like Dave's still having some bad luck hope it turns around for him. After he has been through this season I'm guessing a thirty pointer has his name on it.
Here is my Paul Harvey "Now for the rest of the story." Sunday 10/ 16/11 5:00 a.m. my alarm goes off and i wake up lay in bed listening to the sound of wind howling. Get up go check outside to see if its as bad as it sounds, it is and cold (34 degrees). I shut all the lights off and crawl back in bed discouraged but kind of happy because I can get some more sleep before I need to feed calves. As I begin to fall back to sleep (that I'm craving), I get a text saying "good luck hunting today." I quickly text back "to windy, not going out." Now I'm more awake and decide to check the weather on my phone. 34 degrees 7 mph out of the north. Whoa whoa whoa its way harder than 7 mph but wait maybe thats what its going to be about daylight and the wind is out of the North? Quickly trying to clear my foggy mind I'm realizing the deer will all be headed south from the north. Hmm maybe today wouldn't be such a bad morning sit after all with these perfect conditions. I get back up out of bed jump in the shower take my scent free bath with my dead down wind soap and shampoo, (don't get the crap in your eyes or mouth tastes like crap but hey maybe help my morning breath). Throw on my long johns and Sitka camo pants grab my gear on out the door. Where I hunt is only a couple miles from casa de mi so I make it there quickly throw on the rest of my Sitka camo glad I purchased the baclava and beanie as they would prove their weight in gold, (Yes I know that wouldn't amount to much as they are light but sounded good). I'm right in line with my first stand, the one furthest west and bump two does they don't seem to mind me as they are just walking about 20 yards ahead of me. "Great I'm too late and I've already screwed up this hunt by bumping these doe" I think to myself. I decide I want to hunt my middle stand thats about 80 yards further east and more in line with where i saw all the deer heading North the evening before. I quitely make my trek down to my stand as its getting lighter and I know I'm a couple minutes late due to my fighting with myself as to weather I should even go hunting on this particular morning.
