GREAT Report & Pix as usual Wolf! Sounds like another Fun Run for sure!!
Back from Kelowna area late yesterday. Missed a
HUGE Muley at close range, first animal I ever fired the new bow at, and
zip - right under his chest.
OUCH!
Took the bow to the range for a little work, and discovered she was launching them out just a little low. Fixed that, practiced a good amount, and set back out there...
Put a short stalk on a spike whitetail (first whitetail buck seen in 4.5 days of hunting!). Perfect shot from 38 yards, and dropped him instantly! I was surprised by that reaction - first time I've seen the bow totally collapse one on impact!
Hunted solo the next, a high country still hunt for the full day. Saw over 30 muley does, and only 1 buck - at 70 yards and could not close the distance. Rut obviously
WELL over at that point, so decided to drop downhill for the next couple of days to chase whitetails.
No Joy the next day either. But the day after saw a couple whitetail does in what I considered a venerable position. Put the stalk on them, and zipped a yearling doe at 20 yards.
Ended up seeing a
Gagger whitetail buck the next morning, heavy flirtation with a doe, but no way for my partner to close. Also saw a couple
Basket Rack bucks the same morning, but I was done for that zone.
So, now back home, a big
GRIN and a load of fine eating for the winter!!
Heard a little rumor about steelhead of late, so will be investigating that shortly now...
Hell of a fine capper to an excellent season!!
Cheers,
