Heck of a Saturday

NopeterlikeaSanpeter · Nov 9, 2015

My old man and I took off on the last Saturday of the general season deer hunt in hopes of filling the freezer. I had tagged out the opening day of the deer hunt on a decent buck but still had a cow elk tag in my pocket. My dad still had a deer tag but the main goal that day was to shoot my cow. Well we had a cow down by 8:30. As we we're riding the horses over to the ridge where I had put her down we spotted 4 bucks across the canyon. I told my Dad that if we got the elk quartered up and loaded we would have plenty of time to go hunt one of those bucks. I was somewhat surprised when all the stars aligned and he ended up killing a decent buck a couple hours later. As we were taking care of the deer I looked back across the canyon towards where I had shot the cow and noticed a Dead head. I ended up going back and retrieving it the next week with the game warden. By the end of the day we were pretty wore out but it will go down as one of the most memorable days of my life. P.S. we also slayed a coyote on the way out!
If you care to watch the kill shot of my cow be sure to check out the youtube link.

I would say you had a pretty full day. I like the way you dumped that cow! Nice!

Guns are like parachutes. If you need one and don't have one you probably will never need one again.

Twenty or thirty years from now you will be able to tell your grandkids that, "back in the good ol' days we were able to shoot two nice bucks, a cow elk, and top it off with a yote, all in one day"! It will be a great story for them to long for and one you will never top!.

Congratulations indeed.

Its funny you should bring up the "story" aspect of this day. My 2 year old boy can't seem to get enough of the "story" when I tell him how Dad and Grandpa went out and Had the best day of their lives. I can already tell it will be a story I will be telling for years to come. And you can bet this story is bound to get a little better each time its told.
