Got to go hunting again today.
GOT ONE!!! We went down today to see what we could see. When we stopped for gas on the way, I remembered that we had not called the game warden to see if it was still cow and bull, or just bull. When we stopped for gas i ran in and called mom, who called the warden, and then I called back in a couple of minutes. She could not get the info until 8:00, and it was 7:30. So I had her call the troopers. I called her back. Not until 8:00. It was now 7:45, so dad bought himself some coffee, and I had to sit staring at him until he was done. I called mom back and it was both, but the caribou had moved out from where he wad to hunt. We went down anyhow, and when we got there, we glassed acrossed the river, to see what we could see. As dad sat it the truck glassing I looked up the all most vertical hill to the left. There they were, half way up grazing. We got out, and started up. It was only steep for about 40 yards, and then we started stalking. We got up there, and there was a nice big bull, that still had horns!!! We walked up a little futher, so that I could get a good rest on a snow drift. There was just a little window, and through it I could see two cows, and the horns of the bull, as he looked for food. I waited for the cow in the back to move, and BOOM!! She ran, and I thought that missed. So me and dad went over to the other side of the bush. The herd was making good time, but about 50 feet from the place that I shot her from, there she was piled up on top of a alder bush. I pulled up the gun right when I pulled the trigger, and instead of in the lungs I shot off her jugler vane. It is the only big game that I have ever used the, One Shot One Kill methed, and it is the shortest that I have ever seen a animal run, except for the one dad broke the neck on. On the way out of the hills, pull the caribou and take a short break. By the time that we got back to the the place that it went almost straight down, we just got behind the caribou and pushed, and it went down the hill, and ended up in the middle of the road. On the way home, I had dad stop at the post office, and got a packqge of bullets from krag35, and then went to the store, to see if there was any thing on sale. The whole on sale bin was fill of cookies and twinkies and suzy-Q's.:mrgreen:
Well there you go, the whole thing.[smilie=w: [smilie=w: Except for the part that we ate the whole box of suzy Q's before we got home!:mrgreen:
