One great hunt!!!!
« on: November 24, 2009, 12:29:42 PM »
My dad drew a Southeast Idaho tag for a big bull. We hunt them hard for days will little to no luck. We finally found some shooters and put them to bed. (One hard been rolling in the mud and and was completely black). Anyways we planned out our hunt and went in after them the next day. Some hunters, by accident, had pushed the elk out that we had been watching, they didn't even know they were there. But this bull ended up coming out as planned and my dad got a good shot at him. Trouble was he got him down right at dusk and we had to pack this elk out about five miles up hill in the snow. But it all makes for one great hunt.

Yeah there is no snow in the pictures because it is on a open hill side that faces the sun. The trail we hiked out on is covered by trees in which case the sun cannot melt the snow. That is why I said we packed out the elk in the snow.

I used to hunt in unit 75 for deer a few years ago, but left because of the stupid amount of poaching. I even called the sheriff about a group of guys and he said there just wasn't enough wardens for the area and he would pass on the info. Did you guys notice any deer and or poaching going on? That deer tag used to sell out in a couple hours, I've noticed lately that it doesn't even sell out anymore. Just curious, NICE bull by the way and that's a long pack great job.

Great looking bull, congrats!

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.
