Title: Sesason over for me, 5 bulls packed (2 pics added)
Post by: mtncook on September 18, 2012, 09:55:18 PM: We had the best archery season since owning this business, my hunters tagged 3 for 4. I packed 2 bulls for non clients. I'm waiting to see posts here from my hunters before putting on any pics. You doubters will just have to trust that the old guy is telling the truth. 3 of the bulls easily beat the 360 mark and some unique sets included. The hunter that did not use his tag had a few close encounters but all the cards did not fall in his favor although going home today with his tag he will return another year.

I sure will and it sounds like a heck of a season!!!

Post by: westernarcher on September 19, 2012, 10:52:17 PM: I was fortunate enough to be in on one of those bulls that Mtncook referred to. I am trying to get my buddy to post pictures and the story to his FIRST archery bull. So we'll get that going here shortly. But I want to thank Dave for coming in there with his string of mules and literally saving our butts from some serious torture. That country is no kind of joke. When them mules left with all that meat and horns on them I couldn't think of a more beautiful sight (other than my wifey waiting at home). So Dave, you da man. When I draw that tag I definitely know who to call.

Post by: mtncook on September 27, 2012, 07:20:25 AM: Maybe we can get some input from the hunters, my pics are not the best but should generate some interest. I will not mention names in case they do not want to post. You will recognize the one bull with the split 4's, the other came out on the same string of mules. I had 7 mules together packing 2 bulls and camp gear. Should be some pics of that also. I have some other good pics of the bull with the long backs but I'll just raise your curiosity with this one.

Post by: Webfoot on September 28, 2012, 05:56:19 PM: Hey that bull on the right, the one with the busted off fifth looks familiar.
What an awesome hunt and and what an awesome camp Dave puts up.
I tell you what when you been humpin your butt off all day and part of the night in those canyons there is nothing better than to come draggin into Dave's camp and dinner is hot and waiting and all you gotta do is sit down and eat some of the best food you ever tasted, it doesn't get any better than that.

Thanks for a great hunt Dave.

Post by: mtncook on October 01, 2012, 08:37:25 AM: I just got home from Yakima and the note from Scotts bro indicates he is a WHOPPER. They scored him with a dollar bill in camp and came up with a lesser score. Those westside bills must of shrunk when they dried out over here. He sure looked good to me al over. A bull and hunt to be proud of.
