13 weeks 5 days till we are hunting the Goose prairie unit
« on: July 19, 2017, 09:40:08 PM »
As you can till I'm pretty excited and I don't even have the permit.... This is my wife's  first bull tag and If successful it'll be her first elk. Needless to say this is going to be an awesome hunt!! As the hunt gets closer I will Be updating this post with scouting pics and sharing the excitement. She was right by my side when I got my 2015 peaches ridge Bull and I'll be right by her side this entire hunt. Below is her and I with my bull. So 13 weeks and 5 more days to go :chuckle:

5 days till she can shoot!! Super excited. Hopefully the hunting gods will bless her. I ordered her up a Harris pivoting bipod last Sunday. It arrived today. Her rifle is ready to sing. Good luck to everyone! Be safe.

Did you tell her to shoot the 5 point on day one so it would be smaller than yours? 😀

Congrats to both of you!  Good meat.  #canteattheantlers

Not small to her, she is very happy with her bull. And now she has the furthest kill shot between the two of us. It’s going to look great on the wall.

Monday morning went to an area I had seen elk in a few days before. Started seeing a few cows and then a few bulls😮 got the wife all setup told her the range and she got the job done 8:10 am opening day. Got help from 2 great guys packing it out and back to camp by 4:30pm. Hooked up the trailer and home by 6:30pm. It worked out like a fairy tale ending. Great memories!
