O.K So today was definitely a husband and wife kinda day ..To will know what I am saying in a minute
Last night I told her we need to be up by 5am because we have been late because women take forever to get ready
I woke her up at 5 and we still did not leave the house until 6:30
I was just peeeesed..So for the next 30 minutes we just were going off on each other ...and once I got to the gate I see another rig and that made it even worse
not that I cared someone else was there but no one has been there in 3 days
Come to find out he went up the road a little further
So it is already daylight So I took a deep breathe and got her calmed down and kissed and made up
We head back into the same unit we were in yesterday .. I now notice the wind is blowing down hill again
instantly I tell her we sure messed up yesterday because the wind never blows up hill here and most likely we are not going to see anything ...WRONG.. I tell her since we are here now we will sit up high on the timber line and see what happens . As we are sitting there I kept hearing something snapping to my right ..I can not see because there is a huge log pile about 8 ft tall where they piled up all the brush from logging it ..So we sit for about a 1/2 hour and I keep looking that way ..I am on her right side but she is sitting a little below me . As I look that way again I see antlers coming from behind the brush pile . I calmly tell her to look to the left of the brush pile because he is coming down the hill and will be popping out anytime ...she is resting off her knee.. as he comes out I say there he is ...she instantly says I see him ..she is pretty calm ..amazingly
I tell her to take your time and wait until you see his shoulder and squeeze the trigger .. POOOOOOOOOOW ..instantly I see his neck snap backwards and down he goes ...She was so excited and says to me I got him I got him
it was awesome ..she is getting better everytime I take her and she has been 2 for 2 two years in a row and with her New Winchester model 70 chambered in a 7mm-08 ...140 gr Hornaday just flipped him like no mans business
I just weighed my pack and I have 106 pounds of boned meat ..the backstraps are just crazy .. We called our oldest son to come help and I am sure the young buck was there to do the packing ...had him boned out and to the truck in an 1 hour ...Just a sweet kinda day
