So anybody have any results yet???
Well... Sorta...
A few days back (when the weather was still too damn hot) The Itch got to be too much to handle. So, even though all my freezers are capped, I loaded up the bike, and headed uphill towards the trailhead which offers access to the newly snowcapped mountain out the back door. Took my time wandering up there, and upon arrival was more toying with the idea of offloading the bike for a run than actually doing so. Wasn't there 5 minutes, and a movement CLOSE right on the main trail? Studied the shape which materialized into a nice fat 3 point. Hmmmm...
Then more movement, and another buck, a 2 point sidled up beside him, both simply standing there (80 yards) without a care in the world! Snatched up the 270, and studied them for what seemed like forever... Hmmm...
Freezers capped. Too warm to hang them for any length of time. Too early in the season. Too damn easy... To heck with it!
Shaking my head, I ended up tossing the rifle back behind the seat, and simply watching until they wandered out of sight.
Not the first time I've passed by any means, but in a strange kind of way, it actually felt sorta good. Once it gets a tad cooler, and I get the bloody cold smoking (way to many tuna clogging the freezers, and I need colder temps to get the cold-smoking of them out of the way) those two have a very real problem. That day, they didn't!
So I guess that
sorta qualifies as results Wolf.
Good Luck out there!
Cheers,
