I know this site is about birddogs but.............. TAK is an odball!

Well out of two tags in camp 1 is filled and mine well....... not yet! Seeing good numbers just not the right antler size. I am looking for a yearling spike bull. I have counted 43 mature big bulls and one that would reach the 380 to 400 mark but I passed on him just to big. I am sure if I would have shot him he would have put me name in some record book some place among the great Elk hunters. But I want to shoot a little young spike!
THe horses have been worked harder than they would like but are getting all the feed they can get down.
Few months ago I bought a new horse a 1/4 horse mare. She did not have a name tell this weekend. Well she has one, first it was not good, then it got worse and then I had to tone it down so the kids could say it without some soap in the mouth. Well it is GIRL DOG. We all know what a girl dog is called in the doggy world! All day Sat I went the rounds with Girl dog, and yes I won! I never enven hit the ground!

Ohh by the way I hunt in Spike only units... so a spike is all I can shoot! Believe me if I could have I would have shot till the barrel was red hot and dropping!

Your one funny guy man. Glad to hear your horse has a name. Could always change it to "Alpo".

That's why I like dogs!

Where have you been hunting?

Well I will be starving this year, I never got the mighty spike! Today was the last day and I went out for an evening hunt. Could not get anything to answer to put a stalk on, and to be honest it would have had to be on a hill above me and be able to roll to the back of the truck!

Rut I was hunting the White River area. Along with half the Salt lake Valley! Orson shot one the 2nd day.
