Lots of deer being seen Had my shock break off and a local farmer fixed me up. Thanks Dave M. Got in on big herd bull at thirty yrd but couldn't see rack at that point Then no shot at 40 because of thorn bush I looped in ambush and had a 290 bull wander by at 45 yards Running into few lion kills.

Went in to where I left a bull A few days ago. Followed whip line up to a bedding area on ridge. Settled in and herd a branch break , I had a slight down hill cross wind. Was I already busted and spook one?Waited a bit then gave one lone sweet cow call. Nothing I half expected a bugle. More time and I hear some branches breaking. Down below here he comes this nice curvy bull. I put the 10x32 els on him and know he's a shooter. Dial to 40 He comes in right where I suspect but passed my lane to quick. I'm afraid to cow call , as it seems many times they stop behind a tree. I'm at full draw he holds up, for too long, then in my next lane. I style in looks good zip. He's down in a heap, spine. Then crashing down hill , I'm arrowed up and walking backwards at full draw,dialed 60. Catch him 1/4 away looks good. I scurry down closer to gain yards. Full draw as I gain see arrow 2 right in the pocket, a smile of relief. It's 8:30 am long day ahead of me. To be.,,

1/4,s off , popped head,straps all with my pocket knife Going get all this to ridge. Pack loaded Santa clausing the 1/4 in a leap frog. This is easier on a older guy than slugging out mile with weightBy end of day I'm shot and made ten miles of shuttle 80 degrees rack w / skull 43#. It's where I can get with jeep. Then pull all my jugs out of my 66 qrt Orion and get rears in my homemade cooler 150 qrt truck box OH Yah. To be …

Nicely done, thanks for bringing us along

Guessing you weren't back home on your hunt, more than likely a LE unit? Bearpaws perhaps?

Enjoy the good grub!
