I don't even know what an elk looks like yet this season, let alone a spike.  Thanks for the picture and the stories, it sounds like there are still some out there.  I better get off my phone and get in the woods!  Congrats to you successful hunters!

Come on guys we are two days in , Whats Up ?

Even though I was not able to get out. I did alot of homework and knew where two groups were.  One had 5 spikes the other 4. I told my buddies where they were.  Do you think they went there.    Nope. ..
I know two spikes were shot from that herd.  Oh well I tried to help

I was just in the Colockum Unit, 24 miles up the road from I-90. All I saw were cows at 1:30 am.

A buddy of mine is hunting in the Ellensburg unit.  He said the camp next to him has taken 3 spikes.  He hasn't connected on an elk yet, but he did kill a cougar.     A few more elk and deer will be happy about that.

We need some pic's of that dead lion!

He's still after his elk and his cell reception is spotty at best.  I'll see if I can get him to get on here and post it up.  If not, I'll see if I can get his permission to post it.  He said it was 8' nose to tail.   

good deal on the cougar we have a bit of a problem with cats they keep showing up way down near town....

I had a staring contest with a cow from about 10 ft Saturday morning and it was the only elk I saw. We had an observatory elk tag in our camp and he got a 5x5. Hope my brother has better luck this week for the W. side opener.

We killed 2 in the Prescott unit, I have another one located..... Just trying to find an afternoon where I can get on the same page with my daughter and get her tag filled!...... Hopefully.

I had my first ever shot opportunity on a "true" spike.  I am kicking myself for not pulling the trigger but I think I made the ethical decision.  I had him at about 150 yds, crosshairs on the forhead, and looked about 10-15 seconds just making absolte certain there were no suprises on those sticks.  I confirmed , and moved the scope down the neck towards the crease in the shoulder, and damned if a big arse bull ran right between , and whoosh, both were off and running into the thick! I keep running it through my mind... why theheck didnt I shoot??? Its simple really, I dont think its a sure kill shot, if your off and inch or two, thats a wounded animal, and secondly.... Ive never done that..... thinkig back, all my shots have been in the crease.  I will be bummed awhile, but I think it was the right choice.
