John O Report post Posted October 15, 2011 Had a fantastic 4 days of hunting with my boys and a friend and his son in 6A. The boys really hung in there, and it took us a while to figure out where we needed to be and how to attack the area to get into some action. After a bunch of close calls, my oldest son Jake finally got it done within 45 minutes of darkness on the last day. We had a heck of a time getting the full size cow to the truck in the dark, but finally had it back to camp and hung up just after midnight. Truly a hunt to remember. Wouldn't trade these good times with my boys for anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
