Peaches Ridge Scouting Pics... dialup beware!

MichaelJ · Jul 26, 2007

Well as most of you know I drew the Peaches Ridge Archery Bull tag this year and was looking for some help... it came in the form of some members here but mostly from my buddy Mike Henne! We took his horses into a spot yesterday to do some scouting and had a blast! Didn't see any big bulls but found quite a few cows and some smaller bulls... I'll let the pics tell the story! Also, if you know where this area is, try to keep it under your hat please... I checked with Mike and he gave me the go ahead on posting the pics so here it goes!

We got in some fishing before dark on the first night and caught us some TASTY trout!

Saw a LOT of Goats in this area... sorry the pics are so blurry here...

First light...

Thanks to my AWESOME elk spotting abilities I sighted this buck at a whopping 80 yards! haha

More Country...

Couple Elk...

Our fearless guide... who also likes to steal sleeping pads! haha

Myself...

We even found some radio collared elk!

And coming back into camp we found some cows coming right in to feed with the horses! (Though the horses didn't know what to think!)

Thats all I got for now! Seems that the next time I'm there will be 2 days before the season to scout what basins are holding elk, how the rut is progressing, and to see if a muley buck will show himself aswell!

I drew the tag with 1 bonus point... Got lucky for sure! But after putting in for tags for 6 years I finally drew a good one... screwed up my first couple point banks with a doe tag and a cow tag... And yes last year was my first year for archery!

Eric, Sorry man, can't help the habit! Everytime I hear that song "Copenhagen" by Chris Ledoux I just got to have one! Aint nothing better than a beautiful sunrise, a hot breakfast, good glassing, and a fresh snoose! ;-)

BUCK! BUCK? Well I guess before I guide you any more I better sit down with you and give you a short lesson on what you are after.

Guys, I also gave him crap about the chew. He is way to young to get mouth cancer. Chicks don't dig it Michael!
