I spent the day out on the peninsula looking for a bear about 6 hrs worth of looking.... this was after a 7 hour search and rescue case in the middle of the night and after I shipped a gun out for a buddy, what I found was some great weather and a whopper 6x6 with double eye guards!!! What I did was hiked out flagged down a husband and wife bow combo and told them what I had saw! I asked them if they wanted me to show them where they were? They replied of course, and up the hill we went... I put them on the now 6 cows and bull and said good hunting and good luck! I was stopped as I turned away by the very happy couple and he said man that's a nice bull!!! He told me karma will come my way and i told him, good hunting.... I walked back to the truck with a huge smile, missed the fact that I cant bow hunt for a bit due to an injury to my shoulder from driving the rescue boats for the coast guard. But was pumped when I raised my rifle with the "new 4.5 x 14 vari III Leupold" and drooled over the beast bull and thought to myself, this is sweet! This is what life is all about! I just hope the two love birds tag out on him he deserves a loving home! that said I didn't get to do the hunt but glad some one could.... The best of luck to all of you, and oh yeah I left my name and number on his truck! So if he does tag him, or she does. I will hopefully get a picture of the beast.. I love hunting season... Look forward to going hunting on the eastside for I hope a whitetail! My first one if I can get a chance at a legal buck... I will be hunting northeast of walla walla from the 13th - 21st oct... and took 12 days of for westside rifle elk....

Wow, cool story! As a licensed charter boat capt. for the last 20 years, thank you for your service. :tup:

I have the rifle bull tag for Sept. 20th to 24th, if this area was in 602,607 or 612. If these elk were in those area's maybe you could PM me the location?

Now thats a rare occurance-good on you ;)

The karma gods struck me last year....sounds like your up this year :)

Excellent!
I've been on both ends of that before. I've also seen where guys have lied and tried to steer me in a different direction to keep away from the animals they just seen. You can just feel the evil in their words and intent.
You reap what you sow.

that was a cool thing to do! I have done a similar thing with a buck but we could have shot it if the landowner would have gave us permission! instead the next truck that drove by I stopped him and said
" will you please shoot the buck!" :chuckle: the look on their faces was priceless :chuckle: still waiting for the karma on that one :chuckle:

Good luck on your hunting season .

I will do the same any time that i can if I'm not going to be after the seen animal. Did it last year in Mt. to a group with kids on some deer when I was after antelope. It's great to see the expressions when you give the advice.
