I put my tag on this bull the second day of season.
I have about 3 weeks worth of trail camera pictures of this bull. He had been coming in every few days, we decided to hang a tree stand that area and hope he would come through.
Day 1. 7am cows start working in and not a bull around, I sat waiting for 5 more hours and nothing.
4pm back up in the stand and elk start milling around staying just out of the opening, all of a sudden they all scatter. One hour later a bear comes in and lays down at 40 yards, he stays for 2 hours. Finally after four videos and some pictures he had Enif of me and spooks out, with in minutes cows start coming in but no bulls.
Day 2. Up in the tree by 5:15 am get set up and ready to wait for light. 30 minutes latter I can hear something walking, couple minutes latter I hear the sound of antlers hitting limbs. Now my hart is racing, then snap a branch breaks I look over my shoulder and theres a blond back walking in. The longest wait of my life starts with 10 minutes at least before shooting light, Oh and he is standing at10 yards. Well I can finally see my pins and I let one go, before I can call to slow him down he tips over in his tracks 30 yards from where he was standing.
