Spent all month hunting white tails along the Poudre. Had lots of close encounters with does, a few bucks, a bull moose and lots of mosquito bites, back pain, and leg numbness that almost brought me to tears. Even drew my bow back on a buck on the first morning, but was never able to get a clean shot.
Went out in the evening for my last few hours of the season. Pull up to the gate of the property and this nice little muley is staring at me about 40 yrds away. Sit and watch her for a minute and she just keeps on eating... I get out of my car and she just looks at me and keeps on eating... Open the back of my 4runner and she keeps on eating.... Pulll out my bow, nock an arrow, and she keeps on eating..... Draw back my bow from 40 yrds and let an arrow fly and she stops eating..... Hell.... I didn't even turn my vehicle off.... LOL!
Now, the best part of the story..... She runs onto the neighbors property and drops. Being the good hunter that I am, I knock on the guys door to get permission. We end up talking for about 20 minutes and he's going to let me hunt his property next year... So I just increased my territory by another 20-25 acres!
