Labor Day Combo Hunt

[Brock A]

I remember seeing that target on AT and they had a booth in Vegas this year. I didn't think that target ever made it to market???

Yeah they have been for awhile now. I love it. Reliable and durable. It has probably 300 broadheads so far on the center hex. Still pluggin' away without issue

Justin, is that an EXO pack in the picture with your son? Looks like you have it adjusted low, in day hunt mode. I have been trying mine that way then adjust it up when hauling loads . Is that what you are doing?

Yeah, I barely had the belt snugged up there. Just had lunch and some camera gear in there.

Deciding which digiscoping setup to bring.

Tough choice, they'll all produce good shots.

I went and did a little scouting this last weekend to where we are going... 16 bucks and 1 bear.

Looks like we should still be okay.

I was able to notch my tag on a buck yesterday. Hiked him to the truck this morning. I'm home now. Justin and Casey have seen several bears. I'm sure they will connect

Here are few pictures. Justin will have lots more when he gets home.

Top 2 bucks I was after. The buck I killed is the lower one.



After I stalked on top of him, I was able to shoot him from above. He ran about 100 yards and bedded up. He died in that bed shortly after.



I got him cut up and packed back to camp solo. I hung him over a cool creek for the night. Meat was nice and chilled the next AM



Cool shot my camp



It was an awesome hunt and I am absolutely smoked. I packed him out solo yesterday. I weighed my pack when I got home. 103 lbs for just a tad over 10 miles.

We're you affected by the smoke at all?

Nice work guys! Can't wait to see the rest.

Brock killed it this weekend. The spot where that buck lived is not an easy place to get to or more importantly get within bow range.

Casey and I saw a few bears but just couldn't make it happen. We had a pretty nice one feeding at about 730 yds on the 2nd day and somehow I managed to miss. I haven't had a chance to double check my rifle since I got home but I'm pretty sure I just screwed up. Pretty frustrating since we had plenty of time to check and double check range, double check the dope, and get a very comfortable prone position.

Not the best picture but this is the bear I missed.

Our shooting position.

On the hike in.

Brock and Casey at camp.

The good old SL5.

Great water source not far from our camp.

Another smaller bear we saw.
