The gang of three, jumped to the gang of 5 opining day. We did a Snowies trip, Wonderful day to be out. Did some GREAT hunts managed to dig out a 4 point white tail and a 3x4 mule deer. D-I-L got the mule and a buddy got the whitey. Nothing I wanted to shoot, did a lot of hunting with bear in mind, nutten.
Sunday we where back to three and did a "Just" short of a Canada hunt up Nort, an Sunday. You think the wind can blow try up by Kevin and Oilmont. there is mile after mile of wind mills and they had them feathered out , TO MUCH WIND. Anyway the kids had some 403 doe tag that they filled. I got to watch and help get them out.
Day three
Just in I don't know anything yet.
The boy went out elk hunting and came back with this...
A little more info;
The sons buddy was using a barrowed bench 308. He had never held a rifle before . The day before the hunt He did some range time and off we went. We got him in to 80 yards of his first ever anything to shoot. He took careful aim and pulled the trigger...A miss fire, the boy had him put in another, Click another dud, WHAT? Factory shells? Anyway jacked in another and this time the gun went bang and his first ever anything was laying in a pile in a pool of blood. He was stoked.!
The D-I-L got up on here buck to right at 100 yards. It was looking strait away from her. it was well below her so she decided to take a shot. Put the scope on the base dead center of the neck and fired . The 7mm/08 did it's part and so did she, one more in the truck. Where we get them processed the resident taxidermist showed my son the way he wanted them gutted and we DON'T drag them at all, so we are getting $50 a peace off the processing fee.
Next day they had some either species doe tags for a just north of the border area. The wind as some of us know ,knows HOW to blow here but up there is where it learns it's stuff. OMG was it blowing. We used it to our advantage and got well with in 100 yards of a group of bedded mule deer does, they picked out two and shot, 8:30 and we are heading back to the truck with a cart full of she deer.
Monday two of the group of three had to work. The boy did a elk solo hunt. It's snowed above 5000 feet . On the hill it was snowing hard most the day. He ran across a few cows, a small bull and a crappy deer. But on the walk back he had a bear just stroll out in front of him an a logging road. Quickly he knelt down deployed his sticks and the 35 wheelen barked. It makes a very nice bear gun for a black/ chocolate bear at 110 yards. The dead fall where he hunts is insane so he didn't bring the game cart expecting to have to carry an elk out a hunk at a time. He went back to the truck to drop off the gun and remembered he had the coyote skinning poll in the truck. It's made out of 1 1/2 inch square tubing and would work to put under the bear and drag on it. It worked OK and he got it out with the hair on. Lucky $hit...
