Stalked this guy back in September. Couldnt get it done. Glassed him up bedded on a ridge yesterday about 3pm. Stalked in to 300 yds but couldnt see him because of the steep hill side. Took the boots off and spent 30 minutes creeping in 50 more yards to where I felt I could get set up and start Grunting in hopes of getting him up and to the bench above me with a back drop for the shot. Got set up and threw out a grunt. He instantly stood up and came to the top ridge above the bench. My adreneline starts pumping and I can tell he is gonna play along. Throw out another grunt and he starts to come down towards the bench. Another grunt and he is at the bench. I can see his rack and part of his face. I thrash the brush a little and another grunt , he takes a few more steps forward and I have his full upper body showing facing me and a back drop. BANG..... neck shot. Hike up to him and tag , a few pics and back Track a few ridges to find service and get some help. I knew it was gonna be a tough pack out. Help arrives and were boned out and at the jeep at 11pm. Those canyons suck. Just finished cleaning , bagging and its all in the freezer. Good luck to you all this weekend
