Idaho_ Elk_ Huntr Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Man it was a hard morning. 1st day of elk season and everything went wrong to start out. Started out and got the the road, wife says you forgot to put my bipod on. So I whip around and head back to the house only to get pulled over by a young county officer doing 83 in a 65. He asked going to a fire and I said no. I forgot my wifes bipod and we have to go back hoime for it. Today is the first day of elk season. Man Im getting a ticket. Goes back to his 4x4 and comes back said keep it down about 15 miles an hour. Lets me go and I thank him. Get to the hunting spot late. Im thinking it really sucks to get here late. Head into the woods and I leave my wife at her spot. Go ahead to mine and walk down over the ridge and set down for a breather. All of a suddedn her comes a cow with 2 calves. No bull. All of a sudden I hear a lound bugle! It sent chills down my spine! The buig bull came busting through the thick brush. Sounded like someone coming up the mountain on a dozer. He gets about a hundred yards before I can see his antlers. He stops and bugles about ever 5 steps. Suddenly there is a hole in the brush where he stops. He bulgles, BANG he is down, opps he gets up BANG he is down again. Oh no is takes of sliding down the mountain. Its really steep. Suddenly he hits a small level spot and stops. Went back to wifes spot and she is gone. She got cold and went back to truck. Phoned all my buddies and they sere all working and I didnt want to wait so Back after him I went. I packed him out and make Im still one sore pup,( old dog really) Some people say I have a golden horse shoe burried deep in my buttocks but I say I am blessed. I have bagged an elk every year since I started elk hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
