Well my son and i shot the bows...he is doing great !!!
Heading out in the am to shoot again .
we took the target it the mountains . I want him to get use to being out there . This is his first hunting season . We will just day hunt next weekend. The following we will pack in for the weekend . He is pumped ..he is concerend about the bears they talked about it alot in hunter saftey class. The big worry is the grizzleys so i will pack bertha and pepper spray. Bertha is a 480 ruger alaskan. Any way it will be fun just to have him  out there in the wild.

That sounds great and I'm excited for you and your son. I like to pack hunt too and I understand bringing Bertha, but here we aren't allowed to have a firearm or sidearm in possesion while bow hunting.  :-\
It'll chew...

Well its a must out here in Montana ..you need to be prepared . Some say pepper spray is best but i have my bertha on my side when i bow hunt. Im sure i would taste good all covered in pepper .When he feels the sting of the 480 he might just change his mind.
Lets hope we have another hunting season with out any bear problems !!!

Looks like 80 saturday and 85 on sunday..too warm for packing out a elk. It should be cool up in the mountains. It will be great to be out there with my son.

Welll yesterday my son had the flu and stayed home ..
we were meeting my friend at 5:00 am to look and figure out the camp spot .

Well i wish my son would have come . Just get out of the truck and we hear a bugle.
its just breaking daylight. We hoofed it down the trail and sent off a bugle . No response..we waited about 3to 4 min.then i see a bull coming towards us. He is about 130 yards a d closing. My buddy says nock an arrow , but the elk turns and keeps on going. Buddy says lets roll so through the timber we go trying to cut off the elk ...im thing ya right almost impossible.
Well we end up in a park . (Its a open area ). We are talking softly and i see a spike ..then one more and then a raghorn bull then a bigger one , my buddy grabs a arrow and gets ready ...the just keep slowly moving away. He decides to take a shot ..way to far for me.  Well he shoots way low. I start calling with the hyper hot single reed ...here he comes like he is on a string..he comes to about 42 yrds.stops and spots my buddy ..eyes all over him ...then bolts off..im shaking in my boots ..buddy is pumped ...we talk for a  few and head over the other direction .
We drop into another park and  give a call get response instantly ...one more call ...he bugles again..then i see a cow running right to us..no more calling now she is at 40 yards. Buddy has a arrow nocked ...i tell him here comes a bull he is coming right to us he stops at 42yards broad side . Well im watching my buddy on his knees strugling to pull the bow back.
 I have a arrow in my bow and draw ..looking at him waiting for a signal to shoot.. no sign ...he finaly pulls it back moves around( cant believe the bull dont move at all) he lets the arrow go and over  the back it flys... i can believe he missed twice in a half hour...this  is crazy . We talk about it and i razz him to no end...as we walk away i ask him what do you think he would score. Im thinking 335  he says 330 ..what a hell of a bull to miss....guess its my turn next time to shoot...lol
