Title: Blues News from Mtncook
Post by: mtncook on October 26, 2010, 02:13:31 PM: Big Bull season opened with a covering of snow, About 8 inches at Godman last night when I came down.

I know you guys need pictures, but you will hve to wait until I get them. Sas just called and 2 bulls were killed from her
camp yesterday. Our guided hunter had a booner and shot, the guide followed the shot. The hunter shot again only to kill a small bull that had been with the big guy, the guide is devastated. The other news from that camp is that my daughter killed a 6X7 (her fisrt elk) with her husband using a rifle my dad had built for her. Big story to follow on how all this came about. Side note;;; my dad is recovering from brain cancer surgery 2 weeks ago.

I'll be busy with meat packing tomorrow.
