If there is a season that I had to talk about, it would have to be 2002.
We arrived and set up camp the day before the opener after a 16 hrs drive. While getting water, we helped out a couple that got stuck with their P/U Truck which made me fell good about myself. Then shot a couple of Grouse, scouted had a big dinner and went to bed. We only had a bull tag.
The next day while getting to the spot, this fellow is with a cow and I open fire on him.
The next thing I know, I'm posing for a Picture with a Creature that I've always admired since I was a Kid.
This Pic was taken within the 1st hour of Opening Day..............................I was on cloud 9!!!
He had a 50" spread!!!!
When the rest of the group arrived, I knew the hard part was just beginning. After a few hour's, a broken chain on the ATV and covered in sweat, it was time to celabrate. Dad was real proud of me. I can't remember how I got into my sleeping bag that night? I think it was after I had a few "refreshments"!!!
The next morning, we just hung around camp but I still wanted to hunt. I had a Bear tag. So I went out looking for a bear or even a calf. It was getting late and I noticed an animal by the road. I got closer and it took off...................it was a Bear!!! I chased it into a quarry and couldn't see him. I walked over another three paces and right infront of me behind some cedar's stand's up the Bear only 20 yards from me. Because he was standing on an slope, he looked a foot taller than me. I aimed for the head and shot. The bear dropped like a curtain. I then see that it was only a 2 year old which didn't matter to me.
We hung him at camp and had refreshments..................again. It was 2nd day and the hunt went very well for me.
The next morning, we packed up camp and gunned it back home to prepare the meat for the frezzer.
That Nov. I took an 8 pt buck and a doe during deer season.
What hunter can ask for more?
