BULL' S LAIR

MR. BULL

MULES TO GET HIM OUT

RE: Learnt me a new trick
 

It must be a trick, I haven' t figured out how to post a picture yet. That' s some nice elk country, I like the way you stuffed grass in the elks mouth to keep his tongue in. I noticed it in your other post.

If that' s you in the photo, It appears you' re only about 40, for some reason I pictured a cantankerous old man. (grin). elknut1

Good pictures. I do not have the equipment to download a picture to post. Not sure if I could figure it out if I did?
I noticed one pack saddle was a sawbuck. Do you throw a diamond or double diamond when you pack meat? I have only used sawbucks a few times. I never have figured out how to throw a diamond hitch. Three friends of mine are from Wyoming, they always throw a diamond or double diamond.
I use deckers & box hitches for packing.

I ain' t throwed a diamond in..........well, I cain' t remember the las time I threw one. I throw a box hitch of some kind on everthin' . Ain' t ever had a load fall off with a box, an' you can do ' em yerself in ' bout a half-minute. No silly twistin' or holdin' the slack whilst you run ' round the other side or such. I' m 46, but my wife says I' m well perserved from all the bourbon I been drinkin' since I was knee-high to a tadpole.

Ok. Here' s how I went ' bout it.
First, I ain' t got one of them ' lectric cameras so I sent my film to Photoworks or Kodak an' got a diskette made. Don' t send ' em to York cause their disks won' t display without their own software. Then I uploaded the pictures to Imagestation.com. You gotta fiddle with albums an' such but onct you git the picturs in a album, they got a address thet you can copy in betwixt the [img] brackets on this site. Took me ' bout a year to git it figured out, but I reckin' it' ll be worth it when I kill thet big 7x7 next fall.

Here' s an' oldy but goody:

Nice bull BJ, Looks like you were the guide on that one. Thanks for the heads up on posting a photo, hope I can best your record of a year. By the way that' s one of the biggest wallows I' ve seen in that photo where you got your bull.
You know it' s one thing to have enough confidence to say you' ll get your bull next year, and another to say it' ll be a 7x7. That' s confidence.
You mentioned in a past post you were thinking of getting rid of your stock cause you were getting older, I don' t believe the old part for a second, but I do think all you need is a real challenge. Lets put that pea shooter away and commit to taking that 7x7 with a bow. I can tell by your past comments you' ve got the know how to bring a bull in now and then with calls, now that' s a real challenge. Are you up for it? I' ll go out on a limb and say I' ll take at least a 6point next season with my bow, how about you? Now this should get the ole blood running again, you don' t seem one to back down from a reasonable challenge. You can still pack it out with them mules, and I' ll pack mine out on my back. I' m 48 but I think I' ll still be able to handle it. If not maybe I can borrow them mules.(grin) elknut1

I admit I' ve considered goin' to a bow an' arrer. Hills are gettin' crowded an' I like a peaceful hunt. Don' t know if my shoulder is up to it though. Busted it at the rotater cup a couple years back, an' it bothers me still. What I git fer strappin' boards on my feet an' headin' down the side of a mountin. Cabin fever will make a man do all kinds of idiotic things. I' d have to use a recurve, no new fangled plastic wheels for me. Ok, I got a bug in my ear. I' ll start lookin' at bows this winter. We' ll see what happens. Or maybe I' ll jus' take my .54 to make it a lil' more innerestin' .

RE: Learnt me a new trick
 

Cool!! I just figured it out!! I just scanned hard copy pics to my computer and then modified them a bit, and then uploaded them onto my reply. Here is a pic of an area that I went to this summer. There are elk and deer in the area, although all I saw were a doe and a nice 4 pt buck that was still in velvet and not done growing yet. This is in Northeastern Nevada.

P.S. nice bulls BJ and some pretty country!
