Well, I've been pretty lucky the last few years. Another year and another Idaho bull down. If anyone thinks I'm getting good at this, don't be fooled. Its just a string of luck, a couple years in a row.
Not much of a story on this bull. I was hunting the St Joe, spotted him in a clearcut on the first day, 300 yards down. Blew the cow call a few times and he came on a string UP towards the logging road I was on. I dropped into the cut, stood behind a baby tamarack, and he eventually came to 5 yards, huffing and puffing up the cut. He looked up, saw me, and jumped away a few yards headed back down the cut, he paused with a cow call and I hit him quartering away. A little low for my taste (I think I might have clipped a jack tamarack), but effective. Very grateful to have the opportunity!
Picked up a second tag, and I'm going to back at it this weekend for a 7x7 I've had on camera!
