Raffle Tag Bull Down
« on: December 20, 2011, 10:25:08 PM »
I see where Brad Shot one today,  story to follow soon.  I was down scouting yesterday as I knew he was over here again.  I got my pickup rear differential hung up on a stump.  I jacked it up with a highlift then crawled under with a chainsaw to trip it loose.  Bad idea as the pickup took off backward as I got it free. I made it out but the saw bar got ran over.  I had a nanno second to see the outcome, first I chased the door to jump in for the brake but she was going to fast the trees were coming up from behind so I shut the door to save it.  The rig slid down the tree all the way to the back door handle.  Blew the tail light and put a new dimension to the box.  I"ve had a new flatbed for that pickup here for 3 months, I'll get right on that next week.  I had to smile when I got in and the dash indicated LAMP OUT.   Sas had no idea I had even gone out yesterday,  I usually keep her informed on where and when I'll be home.  She got home at 9pm if that rig had rolled on me like a chock block I doubt if I would have made it.   Lesson learned first hand.  No camera with me yesterday.

Wow Dave, glad to hear you didn't get hung up under the truck on a stump too.

Yes Brad killed his bull today.
From what I hear it's a beauty.

No kidding.   Glad you are safe.    I wonder what bull he chose to notch on.   My vote is for the broken tine one.  Looking forward to the rest of the story

Scary moment  :yike: glad to hear you were not injured. I hunt by myself a lot and I hear it all the time about what if something happened. I always tell my wife, it could happen anywhere and if I were to go i'd rather go while I was out hunting then driving to work ;)

I bet you never thought you could move that fast though ;)

I keep thinking about purchasing one of those SPOT GPS thingamabobs...might be a good idea!

 :yike:  Glad you're okay and that is definitely a lesson learned from the way you describe it, glad nothing happened.  Side not: can't wait to see the bull.
