Yeah. I've got a cow elk tag up by Williams in early December.
Gaston?
Looking forward to the next picture then
Well here's the last one - same unit this year's is in but late October hunt instead of early December:
Nice shot man. I bet she didn't go far!Well here's the last one - same unit this year's is in but late October hunt instead of early December:
She was almost as big bodied as the bull was. Maybe bigger!
I love turkey hunting the spring after a fall burn. All that new growth just draws them , and there's less brush for them to get hung up in when you're calling a Tom in range. Of course you have less cover if you don't set up right.
Oh she ran - 25 yards to the road and collapsed right next to it. When we cleaned her, that shot was dead center heart. Both lungs as well. The bullet failed to expand though so I'm glad I got heart or she'd have run forever I'm afraid. I recovered the bullet.
What caliber? You must have hit all tissue.
Lol that was an odd thing to type lol
Black powder/muzzleloader. .50 cal using a .45 jacketed hollow point with sabot. It was about 100 yards. Missed bone on the way in and out. Right between ribs twice.
They must get some minerals from the ash, ive seen them out in recent burns licking stuff too. Weirdos.
This... is ... amazingOk, so I know I left you hanging.
Here's the rest of the story:
After releasing the arrow, I hear the "Thwack, Thud!" of a solid animal strike so I know I got him. Boy was he surprised! He jumped up and ran! Where he crested the hill, I watched. Once he was out of site I walked over to look for a blood trail. Instead, I found a puddle. A good, solid, on target hit!
I look down the hill he ran down and hear a crash behind me! I turn around and I see him laying under the same tree I shot him under. He ran in about a 100 yard circle and came to rest where he was already resting.
Needless to say, he was NOT the raghorn I had been chasing. That little turkey led me to this big boy that had been beating him up and stealing all his little ladies.
I used to have that happen when I used powerbelt .50s. Remember those? I had the rifle (Thompson) sighted in at 200 dead on with that round. It was so accurate for a smoke pole. But the powerbelts just didnt expand for me. I just always thought with 150 grains of powder behind that streamlined bullets was too hot inside of 150 yards.
Yep I've definitely seen that too! Some of the game wardens think they do this as a gut cleanse. Using the charcoal as a natural filter maybe?
Yeah that's a once in a lifetime hunt Tim had there. I could almost picture it. You never know what's gonna happen in the brush!This... is ... amazing
I know nothing about hunting lol but this is a very obvious feat man!

I'm in for Tropicana grow out. I have 2 frags coming along with the Tropicana. One is a cut to order--Tangerine Dream--so I won't get the order until next week. Looking forward to this.
Oh great choice! That's a Cornbread coral if im not mistaken. I had that one on a short list to order while the 20% off code was still active. I liked Tangerine Dream, Maleficent, and Flamethrower. I'd love to see your frag when it shows up!
