The Utah Tracker: Spiker for Bron

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ---Theodore Roosevelt 1910

Spiker for Bron

After a hard week of chasing ghost elk on the newly opened South Nebo any bull unit here by the house Bron wanted to switch to hunting spikes on the Fishlake. We gave up looking for a six point I found on the Nebo the night before the opener and we hit our little honey hole the second weekend of the spike season. We caught a herd headed up the mountain to bed across the canyon from us with a spike in with them. We busted it to get to a point across from them befoee they got into the thick pine and Bron made awesome 550 yd shot with his 6.5 creed. We called Brody and he helped us pack him out during a total lunar eclipse.
