First Scouting Trip of the Year
Took a friend and went up to my #1 hide this afternoon.
At least a week too early. Snow still knee deep in the shadows. Walked up on a very suprised young bull. Antlers would have measured about 3 or four. Just budding. Sneaked up on a cow at about 931 yards. Twas fun. The good part is the 20 min drive and 2/4 mile walk up a dozer road.... I have till the 30th to apply for the 5 bull permits in the area????? |

Re: First Scouting Trip of the Year
If the terrain would have been ironed flat, she'd of be a couple of miles which is a bat walk. I could have maybe shortened the distance by maybe 100 yds by walking down my side. But from where I was the shot would have been only about 3 degrees down.
However, the wind variations would have prevented a shot of any sort. Besides she was pretty rough lookin'. She was eating that bitter brush like it was the last meal on earth. |
