 Topic: Well,,I got lucky,,,,,
Posted: 18 Oct 2018 at 4:24am |
Well,,the annual Big Elk Hunt has come and done gone by and now the work starts,,UMmmm,,continues,,,,  Jon and his GF and I went up to the mountains this past Sat mornin lookin to bag a bull Elk for some fresh meat. I had not drawn a Bull Elk Tag in several years so was really lookin forward to spendin some quality time just bein in the mountains. I was really worried bout leavin the wife alone for the whole day but she told me to go ahead as she had her phone so,,I went,,!! We went straight to this canyon trail that is bout halfway up the mountain, where we had harvested 2 Bulls and 1 cow before, but didn't get a shot all the way in or all the way out. Stopped to get a drink and decided to take a two track down towards the creek and spotted a small 3X3 bull comin up the hill and at bout 75 yards,,,the trusty 50 caliber muzzleloader did it's job with one shot. Only after it went down,,did I realize the grade on the mountain is bout a 45° steep and he's on the downhill side of us,,,,,,Holie molie,,We went ahead and boned it out in place and I am SO PROUD of Jon's GF as she was loadin the meat in plastic bags and then in her back pack and luggin it straight up the hill to the trk,,!! That girl packed 8 bags of meat prolly weighin 30-40 # each bag,,!! I still cai'nt believe how very strong thet woman is,,,, Course it prolly helps to be in your 30's too,,,,,,,I told ole Jon,,,he best be careful and not get her upset,,,she'd kick his azz pretty easy,,,,,Jon is 6'1" 188 and she is 5'6" and 140 soaking wet, but boy,,has she got some gumption,,,!!! Fixin to start cuttin meat up and maybe make some jerky Sat or Sun,,,,,,

Jon better toe the line or he'll get his  whopped! Glad you got some fresh meat and had somebody to haul it up the hill for you. After you bone one out do you leave the carcass there for the varmints to finish off?

Yeah,,Hubert,,carcass has to stay up there. Years ago,the Game dept found the Chronic Wasting Disease in 2 of the deer down in the far lowest corner of the forest,,so to err on the safe side they declared the whole unit as suspect, hense the deboning. They haven't found any more since then. I was really skittish as the last time I went deer hunting,,they had to call in a helicopter to haul my azz to the hospital in El Paso, Tx due to a heart attack,,,,!!!!!! This time I was OK but it took me bout 10 rest stops to climb 75 yards up thet steep azzed hill,,,,,,  So,,Ya see how glad I was to have Elena there,,,,

Saw a lot if those dang horns last night going home and again this AM. They are so thick around home, the DNR gave me 30 deer liscense this year. My neighbor makes hunting movies and I gave 25 of them to him. I'm sure he'll make good use of them.

You guys all know that hunters make the bestest lovers 1 They always go deep in the bush. 2 They always shoot more than once (except DJ) 3 They always eat what they shoot.
