[QUOTE="Dustyswife98, post: 613266, member: 24276"] What a great experience... Had hike out over 50 miles in the first week all over Guadalupe Mtns. My GPS was my friend out there...Met a few different folks some from there, some not... After 7 days all we heard was 2 shots the entire time from away distance. Even went over the edge to hike down and camp for a two day outing way down low...but that did not work out in our favor due to once we got down 2 hours later and 800' elevation drop we had ran into some serious shelf's...no returning that way once we dropped off of them...So back up the same day we went...ugh... After seeing sheep low we wanted to get lower and due to the red flag wind warnings the plan was to stick out the rest of the weekend high and move to lower elevations at the beginning of the week and continue our luck elsewhere. I could have sworn that mountain was moving... After our move in the am on Monday, found this guy on Tuesday around 4pm with strong wind gust across two bowl canyons backed up to each other. Final shot was 245 yds, slight grade up and a well calculated hold out. Maybe a 50 yard dash around a cliff/bowl corner and there he laid with 1 30-06 180 grain federal premium Nosler Partition shot. There has been a lot of 1st on this trip and this is one for my "Happy thought place" in my memory. Enjoy the photos and remember to Hunt hard, Hunt smart, Stay positive and Good things will happen... [ATTACH]6463.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]6465.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]6466.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
