Popes Quest for a 100" bull begins tomorrow!!
« on: September 12, 2008, 03:32:39 PM »
I'm really going to try and hold out this year for at least a 100" bull.  Ah crap, who am I kidding?  I will probably just shoot the first cow I see.  Hope you all wait on pins and needles to hear if I tag a cow...   :chuckle:  Well, I'm going to try and find a bull we call "Stumpy" this year.  He's not a particularly huge bull, but he's short, fat, and has points coming out where they shouldn't be.  To be honest my heart really isn't 100% into it this year without my cousin who just got shipped to Iraq.  We'll see...

Good luck Shawn. Talk to you in late Nov.
The way that you wander, is the way that you choose
The day that you tarry, is the day that you lose

Pope I am with you.  First elk dies.
Dreams are forever on the mind, realization in the hands.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Well, Cohoho and I struck out on the elk.  Now it's off to Yellowstone for a week.  I'm sure I'll "shoot" some there...

Struck out on maybe tagging, but had a great time and learned alot...   Had some close calls, wind might have gotten us a couple times...  As a reminder when Shawn says, "we just have to climb a little hill", check the slope and height first.... :chuckle:
