Rocksteady 2019 Dear Diary

[whognu]

Costly day today.. took a frick of a tumble down a rock chute while trying to get to some elk.. landed flat on my back and pack (with spotting scope in pack).. broke the scope in half.. 10 + year old buschnell.. in hunt mode so went and bought a vortex 20 to 60 angle view

you're a regular energizer bunny.........takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'

thanks again for the adventures

The fall knocked the wind out of me for close to 15 minutes.. luckily when i went ass over tea kettle my body took the hit on my rifle and Leupold

Not an energizer bunny, just a stubborn cuss..

Jesus. I read about your hunts and come to the inescapable conclusion that I've gone soft. "So, I fell down this rock chute and broke my spotting scope with my back so after I got my wind back I said to myself it is only a 10 mile walk back to town to buy another spotter and there is plenty of light left."

Keep it up, you're giving a lot of us inspiration.

Not a 10 km walk.. maybe 1.5 to 2

Looking back this was the stupidest stalk i have ever tried that turned out so good.. still shaking my head at myself for what happened.. who is dumb enuff to wade up to their balls for 150 yards to get a bow shot at a bull??
I am the only idiot i know that would do it

A while back I told ya to swim The river! I for one am proud of ya man!

Nope, chased a few elk into timber and needed to get over river asap.
Even in a foot of snow, atleast 100 yards to river, than another 50 thru, and another 50 to sit.
Just remember to take the ginch off first!!
And hope you hunting partner isn't snapping a few pics while you don't know!!!
And no, I ain't sharing those pics!!

Yesterday.. slow day.. went to where i got my whitey, hoping to find the elk that was bugling downhill while gutting wt. Was in the right area 30 minutes before daylight. Spent 3 hours there, never heard a peep.. had a cow and calf cross the road , about 3 km from the block..

Today another slow one.. had a cow and calf cross highway in the dark. Went to trail cam.. was in there an hour before light and stayed til 9ish.. not a peep.. checked camera. Not a single pic since the morning of the 15th.. argh..

Did some road hunting after that, saw a few does and killed a grouse..

Nap time

A cowboy would call that a “ fartbuster “.
