It eventually warmed up and the snow melted and #2 was able to go to work...

On day 6 the sendero was deployed.....and the wait was on..

I hope you guys didn't have to leave the fire. That's akin to getting out of the truck.

 

[HATCHET1]

This country would kill the average ducker for sure...no truck access...thank goodness for a 19 year old linebacker to make the trek!!! The altitude is no joke for a flatlander...ughh ..my lungs are still retracting from days of below freezing expansion...

Looks like elk country. Just find the most miserable spot you can think of and go a little deeper that’s where you find him. Post him when you kill him.

Cool looking bull those late hunts can be difficult

 

[TRICER]

Congrats On the bull. I like the dropper on his right. I am yet to hunt one that made it easy on me.

 

[HATCHET1]

Dudes...im tellin ya..late season bull is menacing! After the cut and stuff up in the blow downs miles from the truck!!!! We had to think twice about shooting another!!!!ha!! Nah....had we seen another..he would have got the bullet...tuff hunt for sure...but rewarding in many ways....boy #2 got to experience a hell hike with a hind quarter and head and antlers...the weight was crushing...he did not bitch and actually said it was light work!!!!! I documented it and carried the empty water bottles...i also started the fire when we got back and handed out cold beers...im a giver!! I hate elk hunting.

 

[MAG 1]

HORN porn for sure. Glad to see you did your part with the water bottles and fire, I mean what do they expect that far from the truck.

 

[HATCHET1]

Too far for sure....as stated early..had it not been for a linebacker and a free safety..i fear we may have never gotten out of that hell hole..we needed the D end for sure on this hunt...but he he is serving his country....miss that boy...will have him back for yardbird season though in march...the really tuff hunt..cant wait.

 

[SurfNHuntSD]

Me likey. Some heavy mass on that right side antler man.. nice work from the truck

 

[HATCHET1]

Lol...if they only new....im still icing...

 

[JakeSCH]

Awesome!! Congrats on the reward that comes with the work. Bulls are 2x the size cows and are no joke.
