Mt Spokane North Bull... Awesome hunt
« on: June 20, 2013, 12:55:17 PM »
So last Saturday I fell off of a ladder and exploded my elbow and finally got into the fracture clinic in Portland yesterday to see the dr and find out that I am going to need some serious surgery and rehab on my arm. The only good thing was that it was my left arm and not my right. They said that they will try to piece the radial head back together but if not the they will cut it off and put in a titanium insert. Then 8-12 weeks of recovery and the rehab. Get home from Portland and brother calls me and says guess what???
We drew Toutle bull tags as a group. Very good news so I go and check mine and tell him sorry can't go because I will be hunting moose!! :IBCOOL: He about craps and so do I but hopefully I can rehab this and get back to shooting as fast as I can. Will be heading over there in about 3 weeks to try to get a lay of the land but if anybody has any advice or expertice I am more than open to it. If I find anything out I will be sure and share for anybody on here that also has the tag.

You only need one good arm to shoot. As long as your trigger finger works, you'll be fine. Just bring lots of help for packing out your bull.

I've got advice: do both hunts.

Hit me up closer to the hunt. I'd enjoy going for the ride and assisting and packing if you'd like. If I'm around and not hunting for.myself.

Do both hunts if you can. You've got a long moose season.
:fire.:

" 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

So that's what it looks like to read "Any Moose:Selected"...... :'(

Congrats on the tag! But you gotta tell us how many points it took.
