Title: Missed chance Bull Elk
Post by: usmc74 on September 14, 2009, 05:37:01 AM: I was heading out elk hunting Sat AM. Step out my front door, turn towards my truck, and there is a bull (5 pt) and cow eating the wifes plants. They were feeding right next to my truck. My bow was locked in it. Off they went.

Neighbor told me they have been chewing up her yard. She'll call me when she sees them again.

Used to go to MT to hunt. After shooting a local 7X6 bull, wife says why spend so much on MT tags?

Due to a recent back re injury, I couldn't go get him. My daughter woke me up this morning and said there is a big 3x4 and a 2 point buck feeding by my barn. She knows that I don't shoot pets so we watched them until they left.

His son comes running in yelling that there were elk in the yard. So dad goes out in his underwear and sticks a 3 by in the yard!

Well about 6:30AM he got out of the tent to whizz, well standing there in his sckivies and bare foot watched a cow that was feeding 40 yards behind the tent. :yike: Well she left when he went back in for his bow and slippers :o
