Title: Go Away Bull
Post by: rover758 on September 15, 2014, 07:02:13 PM: "Go Away Bull" or, "Up a tree without a bull tag"

I'm 20 feet up a tree an hour before first light. Flash goes off on the trail cam and for a nano second I see 3 cows below me. I had heard them coming in. Too dark to shoot. I hear them move on. Then, 30 minutes after shooting light this guy shows up. Spike or cow only (Nile) and me without a bull tag. Grrrrrr ... Go Away!!! C'mon late Archery. I can't wait to get back out there. and I sure don't want to eat elk tag soup again this year.

Oh ... BTW ... 2 days later I had a dead-eye drop on another 5x5. Where's a Spike when you want one??? :bash: :bash: :bash:
