WFGinNM Report post Posted September 29, 2008 My son drew a youth muzzle loader elk tag for 17, I hope to be able to post some pictures and hunt story after this weekend. How is everyones seasons going so far this year? I didn't draw anything except a late November coues tag for 36b in AZ. I'm hoping to find a landowner cow tag for up here in 6c for December for freezer meat. Take care, --Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WFGinNM Report post Posted September 29, 2008 fatfootdoc, Are you guys going to be hunting in 17? Since my son is away at school, I get to pack all the gear so I can just pick him up at school Friday and head down to Magdalena. He's pretty excited about Saturday morning. Jason, I believe that we can work up a story, just hope he can connect. --Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatfootdoc Report post Posted October 9, 2008 Well we had a great time, we actually only got to hunt for a day and a half due to some last minute School stuff, so my son was pretty bummed. We were out early Sat. and did not really hear any bugling and there was someone parked where we wanted to start the day(they left camp at 330 more power to them!!) So we sat and glassed and heard them shoot from over the canyon. They had a nice 4x 4 down, spent the rest of the day glassing and hiking canyon fingers. That night we were in good elk country with great sign everywhere and had some muley doe feed right up to us, of course then the storm that hit up there Sat started to blow in and the wind was swirling everywhere. We were in a large park and I was cow calling every so often, we got up to leave due to the wind and as we were walking out a large black bear took off from about 30 feet in front of us. THat was the extent of our action Sat. SO got up MOnday at 230 and headed out again and hunted a small area of natl. forest and again were cow calling a little and my buddy got an answer adn immediately these 2 cow bailed out of the canyon and my son had to take a standing shot and missed(did draw blood from his new scope mark on his forehead though ) I called and they actually stopped and he was sitting this time but the large cow he wanted was behind a tree, I just told him to hold on and lead her when she stepped out, but of course she went from 1 mph to 100mph and he did not get another shot. After applying some direct pressure to is new facial laceration to stop the bleeding we tried to get back on them but they crossed into private land. So if I would have had him sit and shoot the first shot like I should have, we would have been eating some elk jerky today!!. He had a blast and has a deer hunt Nov 1st so he can hardly wait, of course then he will have some competition from my 11 year old daughter!! Oh and I picked him up from school on Tuesday only to find it was yearbook picture day!! My sons forehead scope mark will be immortalized forever!! Nonetheless we had an awesome time and special thanks to Tommy M for all the help. ag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
