So, it finally came and went, 2015 Muzzy week was spent with my Colorado family and my long time child hood friend, from out of state... I made a lot of promises and was able to keep most, I promised high aspen meadows and the deep dark timber that most people only see in pictures.... I promised good company and good friends, as well as bugling elk and the thrill of the hunt.? Eric and I hunted hard every day and every day we were into elk... we even had a big bull at 5yrds and didnt get a shot on him...(its true, sadly, my gun was at my side, I heard a hoof and looked over my shoulder just in time to see a bull trotting right at me... he literally put the skids on and stopped about 5 yards away when he saw me..... my friend saw me frozen and thinking it was close but not that close poked his head around the tree and into his eyes as he was flaring his nostrils trying to smell us... hell, we even got a good strong wiff of that cologn the elk put on themselves for the ladies!!!?We were both frozen and I was committed to letting him take the shot, my buddy froze for to long and learned why I call elk "ghosts" Ultimately we were able to put it all together (thank God for the chance and our success)and a quick cow call had a "toad"
coming to us, at 20 yards, in the excitement and heat of the moment all thought processes and common sense went out the window and together we were able to harvest this awesome bull.....In the end, we will look back, and share some fond memories, we will probably argue over a thing or two until the day we die.... I know I frustrated him at times, but I also know I was able to deliver on almost all of my promises and I am truly sorry for the ones I let him down on, but I also dont regret one minute of our hunt together with the best friend of my life!!!? Cant wait until our next hunt!! Thanks for reading, thanks in advance for comments and good luck to ya'll out there!!
Sorry the pictures are sideways, I cant modify that.... and a side plug.... Mile High Note game calls out of Loveland,Co.... I highly recommend the Antagonizer tube and their double reed call.... look them up and give him a chance!!!
