Northeast Elk Hunt....tough year
« on: September 16, 2012, 08:42:54 AM »
We hunted hard for nine days- saw a total of four elk...

The bulls were calling VERY sparingly- we only got them going on two mornings.  Weather was perfect, and camp was comfortable, so all in all it was a success, but we worked for it.

good job! Sounds like the odds were against you making it even more difficult. Bet the success was even more rewarding
