2009 West Side Bull
« on: November 21, 2009, 03:16:17 PM »
I've been busy, and I finally have some time to post.  I shot this one on Nov. 9 (3rd day of the season).  Not too much of a story.  I was just walking up an old logging road.  I had started seeing a lot of pretty fresh tracks in the road, and had heard a cow call about 200 yards below the road in the timber.  My plan was to walk the road to the end, then If needed, I would come back down and follow some of these fresh tracks into the timber.  About 1/4 mile later I come around a corner and there he is.  About 50 yards above the road, and about 100 yards from me, feeding, quartering away.  He didn't even know I was there.  Not a bad pack.  About 2 miles, all down hill.  With five others to help, made it pretty easy.  It's not my biggest bull, but I am happy with any elk I can get.  I was home for two days, and then headed to Montana for deer.  Moving over to post that story now.  It's been a good year for me.

I am going to have to start calling my buddy the "elk slayer". I think this was his 5th bull in 7 years! I chose a different trail that morning, stupid me!  :bash:  I did however "GET" to help pack it out. Congrats again Eric!  :tup:

Can you really call what you did "pack".  Guess which "pack" was his!

PS:  I know your knee was really hurting you, but I couldn't help it.  Glad you were there.
