Hi everyone
Drew the beaver east cow hunt for oct 8 to the 31. Left thursday the 6 oct at 915 pm arrived at our area friday around 630 am.
On Drive into our camp spot we spot a heard of about 15 cows and with a little searching locate the bull which was a very nice bull.
Setup up camp and went back to town for breakfast and few needed items.Took a little nap got up and walked about a 1/2 mile from camp to glass hills, I spotted 3 cows on the hill opposite of me and my friend who went another direction spotted 5 cows. Sun was going down and the bull started calling his girls home so I went to find my friend and make plans.
Found him talking to a local who was looking for spikes which we had not seen any with the 2 herds we saw that day. While talking we hear a bull screaming and coming our way when over the hill about 2-300 yrds a 5x5 walks over. we backed out and decided we would get up early and get on the ridge above where we last saw the cows.
Saturday we get up at 0430 eat breakfast and make our way to the top of the ridge before shooting light about 5-10 min into shooting time we hear a war zone down on the road and from our advantage can see the guys doing the shooting. Who would of thought road hunting was that successful.
Well we glass up some cows about half mile a way and start to edge towards them as they feed up the mountain.
When it happens boy does it happen fast. As we ease up on this opening I spot a small cow coming my way put the sites on her and before I could pull the trigger she turns and heads to my left were my friend is. Well next thing I hear a shot to my left thinking he just shot the cow I saw when it runs back my way and stops behind some bushes, only problem for her is she left her vitals wide open and that was the end of our hunting. 2 cows down 20 min into first day. It took 11 hours to get them off the mountain. Celebrated by going to town having a nice dinner and hot shower. Went up sunday packed everything up and was home by 9 pm.
