well my buddy and i decided that we would try some place new, and it all worked out after a little advice from a park ranger. heres the story we glassed a few valleys for most of the moring only seeing a couple of does, and a whole bunch of promising sign. dissapointed and thinking that we were not going to see anthing else we started back down the road towards the truck. when we spotted a boar a hundred yards away on the hill side across from us. the wind was gusting pretty hard and i was thinking to my self there i now way i can make this shot in the wind using a shot gun. so i waited until there was a dead spot between gusts but by this time the boar had turned facing away from us with half of him behind a bush, well i took the shot in the only place i could and hit him right between the hams spliting his pelvic bone and sending him off down into the gully. so we down the ridge to cut him off and couldnt see him any where when he popped out of the bush mad as hell about ten feet from us with just enough time for my buddy to put one in his chest finishing him off, it was an exciting morning after all. we went back and hunted the same area this morning and boy if i only had an elk tag they were every where so if you guys know anyone doing some elk hunting this is the place to go, i had so many oppertunities and was able to get so close to them it wasnt even funny.but it made for another great day of hunting even though we walked away empty handed.
