This is true. On the phone with my wife I said I killed a bison on day one, brakes didn't lock up on the highway with my kids in the truck and we are all safe and alive. Son killed second day and daughter had a shot. Heck I'm just happy to fill my bison tag. Even after all the bad luck I still feel lucky to have a once in a lifetime harvest and all my little ones safe and sound. My oldest baby girl has true grit when it comes to hunting, I'm proud of her regardless of what tomorow brings.

Shots fired. Questionable hit. Hopefully recovery in am.

Ok, new caliper on, 3 more hours to get it done..

Well as per usual Aurora has to suffer on her hunts. Got on a herd last night and blew it, didnt realize I was that close and they blew out. Same herd this morning glassed from way high and as soon as a verify location start heading down. Ad I'm going through the last gate I glass one more time to verify and spot another guy with his kid moving in on them and they are closer. Sucks cuz we were in there earlier, he just parked closer. Got a bull bedded with cows I was gonna maybe go after but then my brakes went to crap and I'm now sitting waiting for the part to show up. Should be here soon. Hopefully we can make it happen in the 11th hour.

Well I'm in another vehicle jam. My passenger side caliper is fubar and my truck is undriveable. Theres one available in payson if someone could potentially grab ot on there way. I'm stuck in young right now at Dale and Heather's place, (Wild Heritage Taxidermy). Figures theres gotta be someone on the way with a hunt starting tomorow.

I even had a dude call me was gonna drive it up to me from tucson because he didnt have anything better to do. Crazy..

Crisis averted. Ones on the way.

Have to head back up to 12a in 2 weeks for the deer hunt but dont wanna tote the camper back home and all the way back up if I dont have to. If anyone has space to let ot sit for two weeks that would be sweet! Thanks guys.

Got a place lined up. Thanks guys

Cow down last night! Hopefully another tonight.

Drop off would be next couple days, depending on elk kill, hopefully tomorow evening until next Thursday the 24th and would hope to pick up early Thursday in the am.

It's like 30ish feet

Changed my mind, payson is too far out of the way.

Nice job Dave. Just so you guys know Dave felt so guilty he got one and the wounded warrior did not. But he was there first and they didnt show up until after sunrise. He also offered to leave And they told him to stay, and when He decided to stay still gave them dibs on first shot opportunity (which could have cost him his shot). They missed, he gave chase and filled his tag. I pretty much told him empathy is a good thing and more people should have it. But he has zero reason to feel guilty. Dave, you are a man of character and you deserve that bison. Congrats dude! I'm super happy for you!

Dont go too romantic or you'll end end up like me with a life of servitude to children!

well whatever Penance I had to pay in the Walmart parking lot was worth it because I got it done a couple of hours on opening morning. Pics and story later but for now we are making a b line to unit 23. Hoping for the ultimate hat trick weekend baby!!

Decided I'm going to hold off on myself for a while and get the kids guns up and going with new stocks and stuff. Not exactly sure the round count but I'm fairly certain it's less than a hundred bought it off of member a couple years ago and I've shot maybe one box through it. Rifle only and I will be taking the muzzle brake off. I have roughly a box worth of the 162 eld-x I'll throw in with it. $700

Well that could have been worse. I made the boys help and got it done relatively quick. Back on the road. Intercooler burst at the seem, new one was $800 gee wiz..

Sold

Great job!

Wow!

That's awesome man huge congrats! You definitely put in the effort and it paid off. And to have your boy there is icing on the cake.

I'm taking the kids with me to the Bison hunt and hoping the tag out early and then I will be up there probably coming down around Young
