Title: Mistake or not
Post by: boneaddict on November 02, 2012, 07:28:54 AM: I stumbled onto a 380 bull yesterday and tried to film him. Then it dawned on me. I think the season is open and I think I have a tag. OOOOps. Carrying the wrong canon. Could have threaded a bullet into him, but sure as hell couldn't get a good pic.

Post by: boneaddict on November 02, 2012, 07:53:31 AM: Well, first of all I wasn't thinking elk. Its been a long time since I have seen any in this area. I am so concentrating on the love of my life. MULEYS. I happen to glance up the hill....very rarely am I shocked in the woods, but I about swallowed my tongue and pissed myself. The camera was bagged up because of the drenching rain......Here is the bull of all lifetimes standing in the open looking back over his shoulder down the hill at me. Needless to say, he wasn't super receptive of me throwing my pack off and all the digging that pursued.....

If anyone has any pointers on how to perfect this move, please let me know. I've practiced and practiced, probably a good dozen times or so, to pull this off. Never with positive results :chuckle:

Usually, for me anyway, preceded by a very audible 4 letter word. Much like a shock gobble

Post by: CedarPants on November 02, 2012, 08:08:41 AM: Come to think of it, I think I just found one of my fatal hunting flaws. The hunter's shock gobble. When caught off guard by a big animal, I can't seem to keep from swearing out loud

Mistake or not

Was that the question? Then yes, it sounds like you made a big mistake. Next time, pack the rifle and the camera! :bash:

Your not hunting with the old long bow this year? Been a few years since i been here.

Post by: boneaddict on November 02, 2012, 08:39:17 AM: Both of my high country haunts(deer) were stripped by wolves. I could have busted a 140 buck but decided not to. I have the multi season tag but didn't even go out with it. I might hook up in the late season. I am having fun pursueing with camera though.... I havne't chased elk at all this year. Good to see you back! Hope things are well.

Post by: boneaddict on November 02, 2012, 09:23:36 AM: Yep, had the velcro thing yesterday by accident. I was carrying the camera over my shoulder and then slipped it off. One of the knobs caught on my hood on my jacket and all I hear is this velcro rip. All five bucks I had in front of me were now staring........ :yike:

I think there is a "quiet velcro" developed for the military. I not sure if it has been sold commercially yet. I like stuff with button, drawstrings or those plastic squeeze clip things.
