great story shato....

that whole just outta high school im a badass story reminded me of one of my huge embarrasing failures. i was still in high school though, but i was the MAN....least i thought.

i was hunting in the high country, in the same area as my last tale, a few miles away. got onto a bull in the timber, but all i could ever seen was bits and pieces of body. knew he was a bull, think id heard him bugle before if i remember right. anyway, the call i was using was one of those cow talks from e.l.k inc in gardner montana (have called in more elk with that than all others put together). anyway, gave it a try, and he came in on the run. awesome bull, about 320-330, but to a kid a booner!!!!!! he stopped broadside at less than 20 yards, but i never even lifted my bow. i told everybody later there was no shooting lane, but i think really i was just to nervous to even give it a try.

but i was stoked anyway........

like to have that one back.
