What a fun hunt this has turned out to be, I was a little worried about hunting here again I’ve been in This unit once and it was a zoo. My wife was due late October this year and said I couldn’t put in for September hunts because of how close it was so we opted for a December tag knowing it Would be tough. Myself my son and two buddies got drawn fast forward to the hunt opening day didn’t see anything but quads and a couple really pleasant guides who weren’t to thrilled to see us in the same area. Saturday we finally found elk mostly cows and one spike which we couldn’t get a shot at. Monday morning my son stayed up on a hill we had service at to log into school and get his work done I found another spike that morning bedded him and went back to get my son he had to finish A test so by the time we got back up there it was a little later than I wanted, as soon as I put my binos on the tripod I found him again slowly feeding making his was to water we ranged him at 750 and had the wind in our favor my buddies stayed behind to keep an eye on him while I got my son a little closer. We ended up getting to 350 got him set up and he’s shaking and said his heart was beating like crazy I told him to take his time breath and wait for a clear shot, if you’ve hunted 22north you know how thick it is. He finally turned and his first shot went right over his back the bull looked up and just stood there his second shot hit him in the shoulder. He started to run down hill and he put another one in him dropping him in is tracks, I bet everyone in that unit could hear my screaming and going crazy. This was a moment I will remember forever! Still have three more tags to go so hopefully we can stumble on another one!

Thanks to the couple guys that PM’d me! Had a tough hunt as it was a struggle to turn up water or elk with only 1 full day of scouting before the hunt. finally turned up 2 bulls feeding together the evening of the third day at about 300 yards. Couldn’t get a clear shot at the bigger of the two so I slipped in for a shot and well I ended up getting a bit closer than I expected.... 30 yards😂 guess I should’ve brought the Bow! Anyways the 300 did it’s job and I wrapped my tag on my very first Bull!

Spent the first few days getting skunked. Finally dug in and got further out there. One shot a piece with a 6.5 creedmoor at 590yards. First one dropped and the next walked out broad side, after impact it took one step then dropped in its tracks. The excitement that came afterwards is something I’ll never forget.

Pm Sent with a possible lead

Both boxes spoken for. Just trying to help out when I can, eventhough $30 is stupid money for a box of 22s it pisses me off seeing people gouge others to make a buck.

Sorry been a little busy trying to get my house up for sale.

Seriously. This year sucks. How do you break a wheel on a side by side?? Banged up MANY wheels but never broke one before.

I guess i should be honored. Thanks nobull does sound fun but i just dont have an intereset in a guided lion hunt. Im hellbent on getting one myself! For what its worth, i used to think there wasnt much sport in hunting with dogs and killkng an animal out of a tree. Until i met and went out with Dale in young. Man it really opened my eyes, the amount of work, time and effort, not to mention gas and wear and tear, houndsmen put in is unreal. Gave me a whole new respect for them.

Nice job!

Thankyou, great dogs.

A lot of guys around town have those dogs. I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

called into 10 ft a few years back...

He would charge the going rate to other guides. Hate him or not the dude could get you a lion for sure.

Very difficult to stalk an animal that stalks other animals for a living. They are pros. Humans are armatures

Y a little joke there, I was needing to jump on there anyway since Rogan jumped over but ive not been on it yet, ill be checking yours out thanks for the hard work.

this was from the October coues hunt this year. Just under 700 yards away across a canyon. There was a couple coues does feeding a few hundred yards below it at the bottom of the hill.

Only way I can get to the powerlines and check all my cameras on all those water holes in 9 and 10.

I'm a pretty careful driver. Too old to do "stupid stuff" but clearly my eyes aren't what they used to be. I am pretty sure I slipped off a rock sideways and whacked it. Was just surprised as I have done much worse things to it with no damage. At least now I know what I'm getting for Christmas.

You did a good job

Quick update. Mom is getting a little stronger each day. Seems like maybe I also dodged a bullet and avoided the virus infecting me. Thank You Jesus!

Good job guys. Solid bucks

Thanks for the time you put into their projects. Every catchment that I went to this summer had water and was being used by all manner of animals. Not just sheep. I can’t wait till I can put some time in. Will probably be after I retire due my job. I appreciate what everyone does and I enjoy supporting them even if it is only as a member Brent
