skeeter Report post Posted December 26, 2008 Hey all, hope you are having a happy holiday. I've been promising to post a couple pics on here of my late archery bull from unit 23, & am finally getting around to it. It was a tough hunt as usual, I hunted the first week down around Young as I have a piece of property there & a trvel trailer. Didn't really have time to scout for this hunt which is unlike me but, I guess we all run into that eventually. Didn't see much of anything the first week,& couldn't find any waterholes that were being used consistently. Talked to my buddy Travis who also had the tag, & he had been seeing some up below the rim, so I moved up with him & in a couple days found this guy with 4 other bulls at 7 in the morning. We watched them til they bedded around 10, then drove around to the top of the rim & came down from above. We had spotters guiding us & were able to get this guy at 5:15pm that evening. Then the work began, I would like to thank Travis, Harley & John for all their help. Jed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

singleshot Report post Posted December 26, 2008 That has got to be one of the hardest hunts in bowhunting. Congrats on a nice bull!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krp Report post Posted December 26, 2008 Very nice, congrats. I understand the satisfaction after all the hard work on that hunt, totally different feeling than on a rut hunt. I've had that same hunt before. Waiting for my last rut hunt in my life then going back to that one. We hunt the same areas. That hunt and bull will always be special to you and bring a smile to your face anytime someone mentions 23 late archery. Again, very, very nice, thanks for putting a smile on my face.
