Its to bad my spot is 400 mi and on the other side of the state. We just went up for the weekend and drove my wife's car met up with my friend and we were off.
For those of you that live in northeastern idaho you know we had a crazy thunder storm on sat. well it put down 3/4" of hail at 8700' and the temp at 2:00pm droped to 34 so we made the most of it. I have a draw cow tag so I was the caller for my wife and friend. we made 8 setups and had 11 bulls come in that we got a look at but we just couldnt close the deal its always somthing but mostly a changing wind. They were coming in but were very cautious and would stall about 150 yards from me and 75 from the shooters.
Well we finaly got this guy and two 6 points in a bachlor group to come in on a string. He went to the left and and stoped 30 yards from my friend they had a 3 min stare down with my buddy at full draw I threw every call in the book at them to get him to take one more step and when he did whakkk dubble lung and they all started to run we stayed and called for 30more min to let him pass and when my wife found him one of the 6 points was standing over him, but blew out of there when they bumped into each other. We were just off the road so that was nice. Needles to say I regret putting in for that cow tag second choice. We have to wait until the 20th to go back so I hope there still there for crystal to get one shes put in over 50 hard days in the last ten years with lots and lots of close but no elk mabe she needs a better guide
Good luck to all Oh and we called in two idiots that were in a white dodge with plate# 8b 223 when they got close enugh I waved to tell them I was a person and they started yelling and after they walked off took there handgun out and shot up in the air 10 times. Butthurt? I hope they see this. People are stupid!
