Dave’s thing In the early 1800s, grizzly bears were one of the biggest threats to cattle. While the Anglo-American style was to use heavy artillery to control threatening bears, the vaqueros preferred to rope them from the back of a well-trained horse. This method of bear control required a great deal of skill and was a dying vaquero art. 

What can we learn from this?

The deer hunt!

Spent a couple nights with Dave and his stepdad.  Had a really good time with them.

Camping on the cot was cold, but under the cot.  Need more insulation there. 

Little Buddy heater worked terrible.  Kept shutting off after five mins.

Got it to work for 30 mins once.  Then got up and just got to it

Howd the hunt actually go

Got to a spot they told me about about 90 mins before sunrise.  Got some great pics but didnt see any animals.  Went for a walk, saw nothing, went back to truck.

Proceeded to 4x4 all over the gd mountain.  It was an absolute blast.  Ope, a wheel slipped.  Okay…brake, 4LockLo and crawl right over anything.  Kinda cool

Found one herd and saw a fork horn.  Texted squeezer and he lightly convinced me to chase.  Chased, found tracks, bedding and water but they were poof.

Headed back to camp for a bit to rest, and then went back out to a different spot.  Cruised around that loop for an  hour or so, making hikes up the mtn every now and then.  Absolutely gorgeous 4x4 trail.

Finally found a herd of nine does and spotted a fork horn.  Drove right on by and pretended I didn’t see them

Parked and snuck up staying low and behind hills and rocks.  Got close and was able to ID the fork, but didn’t have a shot.  He moved, so I just stayed still and patient.  Most of them didn’t care and went about their day but one had her eyes and ears on the rock I was behind the whole time.  She knew I was there.

Finally ID’d the fork and got ready.  Steadied up and squeezed.  I saw him jump, and bolt, but I knew it was good.  Climbed up to where he had disappeared and found him exactly where I expected to.  

Cooler, crime scene and knives.

Suppressed hunting is the way to go.
