For many years I have coveted a bull tag in one of Idaho's limited draw units. I have paid my dues year in and year out with no tags to show for my effort($$). Each and every spring my wife puts in for the same tags in hopes that one of us will eventually be rewarded. This summer we learned that we would be hunting elk in our dream unit on my wife's tag.
After all these years of her supporting me I felt like I should support her goal of a 320+ bull.
We searched for and purchased a rifle she could call her own, it's pink. She picked a caliber that made her comfortable due to her recent shoulder issues, .243 WIN. I took the two of them out for some shooting and soon learned my wife is a bit of an ace with a firearm. I think she has been holding out on me.
Figuring Idaho to be cold in November we hooked her up with a bunch of warm clothes including insulated pants which she love, love, loves!! and a pink beanie.
Now we were in a holding pattern. Recounting the days each day hoping maybe we added a day on accident and it was only 93 days away instead of 94. As November approached it became clear I would be working on the opener and for the next 8 days. We would have to wait a bit longer and so we did.
