Here is how my day started yesterday (01-09-2008)

Got a call that 2 bull elk were locked up and one was dead the other still alive.

The bulls were in a field about 15 miles Northeast of Monticello.

When I got there I actually found 2 bulls locked antlers… I thought this only happened in other areas…

J. and I were going to tranquilize the bull and saw antlers…one problem..we did not have enough of the drugs to do a good job.

So we walked out there and sawed the one point off of the dead bulls right antler and then we had to saw the main beam of the left antler to get the other bull free.

The whale tail was over the bulls eyes, lodged between the eye guards.

When we cut it free the bull stood there for awhile catching its breath with the piece of the antler still in it’s antlers.

When it took off the piece of antler came out…

WOW! this was for sure one of the most memorable days….

Enjoy the pics.

They both spotted a large trophy class buck meandering towards them. As the one hunter raised his gun to shoot, a funeral procession came slowly by. The hunter lowered his gun, took off his hat and stood with his head bowed until the procession was past. Of course by then, the deer was gone.

The other hunter exclaimed “Wow! That was the most sportsmanlike act I’ve ever seen! You allowed this trophy buck to escape while showing such compassion and kindness toward someone’s dearly departed. You are a great humanitarian and a shining example to sportsmen throughout the world!”

The first hunter nodded and said, “Well…. we were married for 42 years.”

We’ve been working long and hard to get to where we are now, but we are now ready to open to the public.

Sportsman’s Outfit is made up of two friends, Chad and Jonas living in the north Idaho panhandle. We love hunting, and all the stories that go along with it, which is why we opened the member forums, as well as the Sportsman’s blog. The member forums will be a discussion place for everybody, while the Sportman’s Blog will be a place for us to post announcements and other stories of interest. Feel free to comment on any post. There will eventually be some commenting guidelines posted to prevent abuse, but we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it.

At this point we have a minimal amount of products in each category. But this will change quickly as we will be adding products just about every day of the week. We have over 2,000 products available for retail, and as you can imagine, it will take time to add them all to our catalog. If you are searching for a product, and do not see it in our catalog, you can always contact us, to ask if we carry it.

We have also have a Grand Prize Giveaway Knife, that we’d encourage you to get in on. We have been asking sportsmen to post pictures of their deer, and we’ll have a random drawing to determine the winner. Originally we had planned to open last season, so there are a couple of contestants already entered. All you have to do is register at our forums, using the VIP 1952, upload a photo of you and your deer in this thread, and you’ll be automatically entered into the drawing.
