Wife's Bull
#1
The wife finally took her first branch antlered bull Friday in WY. while hunting the last part of her rifle hunt. We headed up Weds. into the heart of the winter storm blowing thru WY. 30 to 40 MPH winds blowing snow etc. etc. I ran in 4X4 from Rock Springs on I-80 to Rawlins then North toward Casper. We left about noon and luckly didn't catch any road closures. I-80 East of Rawlins was closed Weds & still closed when we headed back to Utah Sat. morning. The wife was a real trooper hunting in blinding snow and wind storms all day Thurs and into Friday. We spotted several bunches of elk Thurs. but the wind was never in our favor. Finally Friday afternoon we were able to get to within 100 yards of a bedded herd with several bulls after crawling on our stomachs for several hundred yards. She was able to connect on this bull as they started to move out. We had to follow him down off the ridge we were on as he finally went down out on the prairie where she was able to finish him. The temp was 11 degrees in the morning but had warmed to above freezing by the afternoon with the wind still howling. She was one happy hunter and me a very proud husband.
