    Unpacking

    I'm finally unpacked. I hunted nearly every weekend from April till November this year. My wife let me know how much I spent and next year she's going to Europe for a couple of weeks instead of me hunting.

    Good luck. I may be in the neighborhood, my nephew has that tag. He has been texting me pics of some pretty good bulls. Still debating if I want to battle the snow to help him.

    Tony The crazy thing is that's only about a third of the bulls I saw. Sometimes I was getting into position so I didn't get a pic Fred

    Unit 1 Semi live late archery hunt

    The story ends as a Greek tragedy. We get there and the ground is covered with a layer of snow. We search until the beginning stages of hypothermia set in and then I call it. I can only figure that the arrow didn't penetrate enough to get the second lung. The arrow it looked couldn't be better placed if I did it with my hand. I'll look again tomorrow and again on Saturday The conditions we were searching in Oh it was the bull with big fronts on the far right

    The final plot twist of this story took place today. Outcome TBD This morning I had this bull on a string to pass me @ 50 yards then that storm front started moving in and changed the wind patterns that had been constant since the beginning of the hunt. They left Bulltopia Had to check emails and return calls so I went to Springerville for lunch. saw this immature banded bald eagle eating roadkill I do what I have to do. And decide to go up to my original honey hole before I was distracted by Bulltopia. Three trail cameras and I got 1 picture of a Bull. even the horses are gone. Something is not right so I left. I decide to drive into bulltopia , I pass a white toyota on the side of the road and a few hundred yards later I spook 4 bulls with my driving. I feel bad I hate when that happens to me. I take a couple of pics and keep heading in. I decide about half way that I am not going to make it and know that the toyota is going to cross the field to go after those four little bulls. I figured, why not. I sneak in wind is good enough, Cover is adequate. I get to 65 yards and take aim at the closest bull. He spooks and a chinese fire drill is taking place. I climb a little ledge and A bull that wasnt part of the drill is standing broadside and a good distance but a shot I practiced quite a bit. I was determined. I pull back, settle in and squeeze. I hear the crack of the arrow hitting rib. It runs and stops after about 60 yards, I glass my fletching sticking out about 14 inches. half way up and two inches behind the shoulder. I hear a crash. I have nothing with me to see. I follow the trail until around 730 and call it. I will be back first thing in the morning. No matter what the hunting part of this done. Which bull did I shoot? (im asking im not quite positive)

    Unit 1 Semi live late archery hunt

    You can't compare me to CNN what I show is true, hahaha. Yesterday I set up on 75 yards on the wrong side of perfect. These guys walked around me and bedded 130 yards southeast of me. When the wind did what its been doing. It became a track meet Had to take care of Kitty midday. I miss when g&f was run by hunters. I've been sic, two meals the last three days so it finally caught up to me and I had to rest. Afternoon nothing. This morning I had everything nearly perfect. One of the bigger of the big bulls is was coming with maybe another dozen friends. Then for the first time for about three minutes the wind was from the southeast to northwest. And they cut across the fields fast. Better pics later Hoping the come back to a point quarter mile north of where I spooked them ready right now. I'll wait a bit and then start glassing other parts
