What a week of hunting up above Flaming Gorge!


Pretty much had every kind of weather that could be offered up.


Travel day was really nice on Monday the 31st.

Opening Day nothing but big wind and only 3 cows and a 3 x 2 bull sighted and no shot taken.


Even though we don't have to, I always wear my Blaze orange just in case.....safety


I thought of 'Slammy' as I prepped my Scopeless T/C .50 cal.

Nice to get back to the lodging and have a warm seat for the bummy cheeks..... I never leave home without it!


Then get a hot shower and watch the World Series with the eFireplace going sure takes the chill off of a dang cold day with the windchill too.

BUMMER Alert.....


I blew some bedded does out @ 88 yards and the bulls blew out with them.


Damn the luck! haha


I've just been running up on Monte Cristo now that I'm back home.


For $150.00 Multi Season tag, I have no complaints.

That is a bummer. Just wondering, did you try a cow call right when they started to bust? I've been able to stop them for a few seconds for a shot when I'm able to let out a few chirps.

I tried to do a cow call, but I got hung up taking Horsecorns gifted Seatbelt off....haha

I have to say, out of the times I did throw out a cow call to try to stop a bull. Twice as many times I got caught up in the moment and forgot to try and usually forget to throw in some ear plugs when shooting too. ?
 
+1 ridgetops


I don't like to shoot with my backpack on either as it just doesn't feel 'set' for the shot with my gun butt on my shoulder straps.....

Did ya have you really nice Outfitter tents and big stacks of fire wood?


That camp pic was 1 of the best ever!

Opened on Wednesday, but couldn't make it up until Saturday due to a Colorado 2nd season deer hunt of my son's. ended up with 6 elk in 3-days between 7 of us and headed home. All the meat all of our freezers could hold ;).
