Oh! Im so glad you asked! [

I was 2004 LE Monroe rifle. I archer deer there so I have a beed on the elk (no major accomplishment). My father had the tag. He shows up opening morning about 4am. I take him out and put him several bull opening morning. I convinced him to pass on 3 350+ bulls that morning. Later that day in camp my uncle wanted to take a nap. But pops didn't want to ruin his day. So I thought I'd take dad for a ride and show him a few of my haunts! Its noon mind you! Cruisin along I noticed a spur road that heads up a little knowl. Rarely drive it so I thought what the heck. I got to the top and turned around to notice my dad crouching down off his bike with a look on his face like there was hell to pay. Oh ship! He must have dropped his rifle. He's gonna be pissed. Just then he stood up and aimed. At what? Looked like he was about to take a 1000yd shotat something. What the heck? Bamm gun goes off and at the same time I noticed the bug bull 30yd off the road. I drove right passed it 20yd didn't even see it.[crazy] This is the thing 100yd to the closest tree. He never even lifted his head. It was kinda windy but he must have blind (like me) and deaf. Just goes to show better to be lucky than good any day. 396 B&C. Now its my turn to get lucky! [cool]
