Huntn coues Report post Posted December 11, 2007 Well the hunt started out with a ton of fog and rain on Friday and Saturday which resulted in very minimal glassing (about 100 yard visibility) So when Sunday came it was on! First off we glassed a couple of bulls a long way's off and after talking it over with Gino we made the move to get to these bulls and let me say that good ole Coues n Sheep know's this country like the back of his hand because after the hike (sprint) back to the ranger and the 2-3 mile drive and the 3/4 mile hike in we were right on top of them. The bulls were 385 yards straight below us! So now was the time to get Courtney set up and focused. She was using Gino's 300 weatherby when she made the perfect 1 shot kill. The bull dropped in it's tracks . I will never forget the look on her face when we got to her first bull. (amazing) Colton showed up after hearing the news from his glassing location and I sure am glad he did because we were able to get that bull out in one trip (6 hrs) but one trip none the less. Now here's the story on Caitlins Bull. She had already harvested a bull a couple of years ago and was looking for something a little bit bigger. Really she told me that she was a holden out for a biggin! So come Sunday evening we started glassing our butts off for her bull. Come Monday Gino, Colton and I glassed up some bulls and Gino found a pretty good bull running with a couple of younger bulls. Well the younger bulls started scrapping and farting around and after a little bit of that the big bull disapeared into a brushy canyon. We came up with a game plan to go after that bull that evening but that bull did not appear that night. Gino and Colton had some stuff to take care of and said they would return for Thursday's hunt. Tuesday was un -eventful for us but we just plugged on. Now on Wednsday evening I showed Caitlin some smaller bulls but she elected to pass. Well good ole Uncle Gino showed up late that night with a game plan! And low and behold it worked We went to one of HIS hot spots and wallah- there was the bull standing there a mere 450 yards away. Again using Gino's 300 Caitlin made a perfect 1 shot kill as well. There was no way to get any closer to this bull unless we could sprout some wings and fly across this monsterous canyon and I sure wished we could because it took from 7 am when she shot till darn near dark for Gino and I to get this bull out. And yes before Gino can rub it in he did make an extra trip more than I.(not giving you ALL the glory though) Anyway Both myself and Mrs. HC are very proud of our Daughters. Kinda sucks that a couple 13yr olds can out shoot their dad I normally would lie and tell you guy's that they shoot like their old man but Mrs. HC frequents this site and would call my bluff and tell you they shoot like her. Courtneys first Bull. Caitlins second bull. And here is one with Uncle Gino's ugly mug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
