Helping my friends in 6a

Recommended Posts

Left the house  Tues  after work  and headed  up to our spot in 6a . My buddy  Chuck  had helped my last year with  my dad and his buddies  muzzleloader  hunt . So it was my turn to repay the favor.  Pulled in to what looked like a trailer park at camp . There was already 7 trailers at camp as I pulled  in.  Did some scouting  and set stands.  Friday night was a busy night  as we got the call 2 6x6 elk were hit. One  went thru the water and we were looking  for blood and didn't  find any so we went to check  on the other bull as there was blood.   The pool of blood looked  promising  but we backed out and went  back in the morning  . The 6 of us lost blood and grid searched  for a few miles and didn't  turn up anything.  So we went  to look for the other elk . No blood so just grid searched  and turned up just elk on there feet and I found a good 5x5 dead head. So they were back at it Saturday  . One 5x5 down and recovered  in the morning  then another  that night made for a busy day. Sunday was just a few elk at water and Gonzo passed on a spike it's his first hunt. Come Monday  we were loaded to go home as it's my 25 year anniversary  and my wife  said we're not staying.  We'll right  before  we were ready to go the call came in Chuck  had a bull down . How could  I leave now . So off we went and we recovered  his bull  then left . Got some rain coming  down the 87 right before  the 260.  Got home and unloaded the trailer  and then got word Gonzo had a spike down . So the guys filled  there tags. Just two more tags in camp Martin  and his daughter  have cow tags . So the hunt continues. I don't  have all the pictures  just yet as signal  is spotty.

So the guys  went in mid day yesterday  and did a gut pile clean-up  at the waterhole two elk were taken from  and at 515 yesterday  night another  tag was filled ! Martin got his cow . Just 1 tag left and it's probably  the most important  to us . Martin's 14 year old has a cow tag! She's  due to come back up Friday.

I’ve got the muzzleloader hunt, had a muzzleloader cow tag in there a few years ago and saw some big bulls

So after trying  to help another  hunter find his elk the guys came across  a lion kill and it's real fresh . Chuck and Gonzo made a blind and we're going  to see what happens.  Chuck  usually  brings a ar15 for coyote.  This could  get interesting!
