Guest rbfree1 Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I worked nights last night and I got a call from the wife that a friend of mine shot a 4x4 bull elk with his 30-06 and couldn't find it. he gave up after 5 hours looking and came home, I called my boss and told him I was leaveing and why. he understood. My friend is not a bow hunter and has no idea how to track like we do. most of the animals he shoots drop within a 100 yards or so. any way I get to his house a 7am and we head for the mountains he takes me to the spot where he shot and all that is there is a small bit of blood some meat and hair the elk made a run to some blow down and down into a canyon I headed to the canyon and found a smal spot of blood on a trail the next 7 hour were fullof gut instinct ( if I were hit were would I go) I would go a 100 yards and find one small drop of blood after 3 miles and three hills I was on bleeding hands and knees and looked ahead of me at 3 feet and saw a yellow butt. He was down and I had found him. my buddy could not believe it and to tell you the truth I couldn't eaither. But I didn't tell him that. now I am gog azz tired and I have to work tonight. paying the price for haveing fun but I wouldn't have changed anything.

Guest rbfree1 Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Re: Ive got skillz Baby I didn't want any meat. I got a 6x6 last month with my featermax. it was just fun showing this old boy up. hehheh he always calls me the wounder althow I have never lost a animal. He thinks bows are not effective and all they do is wound animals. I just looked at him tonight and he said Rich you got skillz I am feeling pretty good.

buckee Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Re: Ive got skillz Baby Good tracking job man. When all else fails, that instinctive intuition of where he might go, sure comes in handy. My hats off to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
