Deer Story and Elk Camp
10.31.06Well, I’ve been mighty busy these last couple weeks with hunting and all. As you already have seen, I got my buck already. I think the best part about it is how I was on the clock for work when I did.
We were on our way out to a pool table set up, in the backwoods of bonner’s ferry. As we rounded the corner on a dirt road bordering public lands, we spotted this 4 by 4 grazing on private lands. We parked it and watched him for awhile, to see what he would do. Sure enough, he gradually made his way to the fence, jumped it, and was heading into the woods. I was out waiting for him, on the edge of the trees, and now was my chance. Got him at about 200 yards, using the new LEVERevolution round. It was a neck shot, and it dropped him on the spot. After snapping a photo, and loading him in the truck, we continued down a forest road to gut him.
From there, we continued on to the table set up job. And thats a whole nother story in itself. This guy was a beer short of a sixpack. Pretty much just a fortune telling, speak to the energy to heal people, and other crap. He even asked the energy to heal the wild moose that came to his property, and even a family of raccoons came to visit him for spine alignment healing. Anyways… the guy was crazy, so we set his table up and got outta there asap.
We camped out at ‘The Joe’ (St. Joe River) this weekend in hopes of getting our elk. Jonas’ brother-in-law got him a 4 by 4 out there, and we were gonna try and do the same. We jumped plenty of doe and moose. On Sunday the first snow dumped on us, which was great because it’s so much easier to track game in the snow. Sean managed to run across 2 cows and a good size bull that just barrelled down the mountain when he saw Sean. So we chased em down the mountain a good way, but lost em on some pretty steep mountain side. So we came back empty handed. Elk closes on the 3rd here, so we’re most likely not gonna bring one home this year.
