coyotekid Report post Posted November 16, 2008 neither my buddy or myself has any time to be out screwing around in the woods right now, thats why we were out lookin for elk this morning at 530 for his pop's up coming bull hunt, so that we could be back in town before any one knew we were gone! That was an awesome plan except for the wind this morning was brutal and the super secret elk garden had no elk. After giving up with trying to keep my tripod from blowing over, we just said screw it and decided to head back to the wheelers, after about 20 min walk through the ceder jungle that we had hid our rides in Dave's dad and I finally found them and then we realized that we lost Dave some where between the canyon rim and wherever the heck it was that we were. After waiting a few minutes I called him on the phone and asked where he had gotten off too, His answer was, " don't worry about it, and start the quad so I can find you." Shortly after we started the noise maker he comes walking in from some obscure direction with this piece of crap in his hands, What a! Ya think you know a guy and he goes off and finds a pig like this one just layin there for him to get to brag about for the rest of my life. In all reality, This wasn't really "my spot," I had only been there once or twice before, but we both had seen elk in there and hoped we would find some today. This buck was for sure jumped by a lion, it had its neck bones all tore up right at the base of the skull and was all drug under a tree funny like. I know there is a gray area as to if we could keep this head or not so there is that chance that one of you guys will stumble upon this dude hangin in a juniper someday, and I you do, remember, your in MY spot! He is a 3x3 frame with a little 1.5" kicker on the passenger side. 14 wide and 14" mains he has good mass but is short on all his points. all in all he comes out to 89.5-90" with my on the fly measuring. enjoy the pics. -sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coyotekid Report post Posted November 18, 2008 hehe, no the name on the jacket is the real deal his name really is Dave. I gave him a pretty hard time about finding something cooler than I could find but I was way happy for him. I can sometimes find more drops than he does but this is his second awesome lion kill that he has picked up in the last year or two. thanks for the posts guys. sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
