Well this year did not start out right, I left with a cold, what can you do, anyway we get up there with a couple of the guys already there, we set up camp and have not slept in over 36 hours, we are still too pumped 3 of us go take stands and 2 guys go out on quads. Then it started raining when we were out, and windy as all get out. We hunted 'til dark but nothing was seen.
The next day we get up and make a plan, we decide to block offf the furthest point of our stands, well because of this cold I almost did not make it back from there I was sooooo out of gas, After a fabulous eggs and bacon brunch, back out we go, however with the other guys going down to the bottom, I decided to stay at one of our closer stands. I hear the boys talking at around 6:40pm that they will start to head out at about 7:00pm, when it was just getting on to 7, I decided to head to the truck and warm it up for them cause by now it had been snowing and blowing pretty hard, I only walked a couple hundred yards and came around a corner and there about 150 yards away was what I thought was a cow, immediately running through my mind was where is the Bull or calf? Anyway after putting my fanny pack down, I played a staring match with this "cow" and when the cow turned its head I could see it was a bull, I slowly took my glove off and raised the .308 and Pow, the bull dropped, however he started to drag himself away, I ran up the bank and finished him off. So it looks like being sick paid off. That was it for us nothing moved after that, stinking weather.
