Morel hunt gave up an awesome treasure!
« on: May 07, 2011, 10:53:21 AM »
Went for a late season morel hunt this morning. I think season is just about done, only found 2 this morning after finding 37 on Wednesday evening. So far this seson I have found just over 300. Not too shabby for 2 weeks of hunting.
The best part of this morning was a little bitter sweet... I was getting ready to cross a creek to look under a huge elm tree. As I was about to jump across I something caught my eye in the water- it was a find of a lifetime. This guy was surely a bruiser in his day. Part of me hates to find him this way but at the same time I am excited to have been given this gift from God. This old boy will be sent to my cousin to do a European mount. When I get it back I will post the pics!

Hope he died of old age and not a bad shot. A smart old buck like that deserves it. Great find.

He was found in an area that is does only so I'm hoping the same thing and someone didn't take a pot shot at him!
