One for three

[Sfc Hawk]

I drew three tags this year antelope, mule deer and elk. Got the antelope, the other were a bust. Deer season I saw some of the biggest bucks that I have seen in a long time. Six that were four point or better (eight point for eastron count) all within 50 yards standing shoots. Problem was I was on BLM and they were on privet. Many of the ranches that I was welcome on at one time have sold or the owner has died. I did pull the hammer back one time on a forky but I was in a rock pile he was across a narrow canyon ( fairly deep) wind was blowning a gale I couldn't feel my fingers nose was dripping it was a long way to the truck, legs were telling me no. So I let him go. Loved it. Saw a 7 point bull with 3 cows during deer season (the rut was on). From living in the desert his horns were white and his hide looked like rust. I didn't get a deer but I had a heck of a good time. Elk season was only 5 days never saw an elk But alot of big bucks again the their rut was on. But on a defermation I helped take an elk calf it wasn't big but sure is tender. The old springfield did it again. Drop like a sack of flour. Hope everybody had a Merry Christmas and you all have great new year.
