Mt. View Unit

I couldn't help feel envious that Steve's  tag was on the bull of a lifetime and not mine.

Steve just posted a pic of his bull on Instagram.

Congrats on a successful hunt!

I know This says the same thing as my text, but great write up, great hunt. Congrats my friend

Really great post, it was like a good book, I couldn’t wait to read it.  You both earned this by working your butts off, thanks for sharing!!

Fly4fish, great bull and post.  Thanks for sharing.  His tops look a lot like the tops of the bull in the pic, below.  What a great bull!

Rinella's bull is also a great bull. Similar to the 7x8 I was close to.  Glad Steve is a better hunter than me and got it done!

For me, one of the benefits of this hunt was sharing it with anyone who wanted to read along.  I said several times that this hunt deserved a GoPro.  That would be a great video.

Thanks Shawn. I agree, this hunt would make is great video, and it will! I got some great footage of the hunt, kill shot, death and will be putting it all together in the next months.  I run a head camera mount company, so I have to get all of my hunting on film and have developed ways of getting entertaining footage with minimal effort.

Also, I'm not so sure Steve is a better hunter than you.  For one thing, he had a team. The other, you could strike out on 100 opportunities in a row, or get one your first try.  Luck, or rather a lack of bad luck certainly play a big role in it.  Just like you not getting a shot due to the brush being a little too tall.  I should also let you know that I have had the tag twice before and have had significantly less success.  The first go round I ate the tag.  On the second round, I ended up shooting a 6x1. This season I decided any 6 point would do on last day; luckily the bull I got provided me with a shot, but at that time, a bull like yours would have fell victim as well to me as well.   

Thanks again for the write up and sharing your adventures!

Looking forward to that video.  Glad you had a camera on.

I know of 4 bulls killed in the unit: Buck10's, Fly4fish's, Rinella's, and mine. Anyone know of any others?

I was in contact with 2 of the 4 East Wenaha hunters. Both tagged good bulls. Anyone know other results from there?

[jackelope]

I follow mtncook and he’s posted pics of 3 nice bulls from either the wenaha or Tucannon. I talked to one of the Tucannon tag holders last week and he said as far as he knew nobody had killed a bull yet.

[time2hunt]

I know of at least 2 bulls possibly 3 killed in tucannon.  That unit is starting to have a wolf issue there were 4 at teepee trail head and tracks across the misery trail all the way across. Oh yes I know the difference between wolf and cat tracks😜

Sounds like the number of mountain view applications will go up next year after this thread .... Haha anyone thinking of applying please look at a topographic map and realize what you are signing up for.  Blue mountains are not for the weak legged or out of shape folks.
