The CA season is already over for me unless I decide to get a tag OTC.
I got my ass kicked in the mountains. Long high hikes in altitude are not for everyone but they are for me. I could do without 90+ degree weather though.
On the third day in the late afternoon I missed a shot high from 310yrds at a bigger Buck. I just could not get stable enough and honestly I rushed it just a little bit. Needless to say I thought I would not get another chance. Time ran out and I had to go home.
The idea that I could go back and find the one that got away kept me up at night. I took a couple of days to li ckk my wounds and I went back.
The one place that presented the biggest physical challenge ended up holding.
220 yrds up very high in a canyon wall there he was with a couple of forkies.
This time I took my time. The Tika 6.5 cr with Hornandy 120gr was plenty and I took him home.
AZ Elk in December is next.
A light riffle is awesome to carry but a bitch to keep stable under fatigue..
Enjoy the pics.
