Heading to the BOB elk/deer combo archery. 16 miles deep on horse back!!! Can't wait. My partner and I have been talking more about the grizzleys then elk??? Hahahaha

DIY or with an outfitter? We went in 28 miles a few years ago. It's some amazing country!

Both? All my gear, basically a taxi ride from an outfitter, he drops us off says good bye until we "hopfully" call and say "come get some meat bro"

[vandeman17]

Drop camp. Very cool! Good luck and take lots of pictures

God's Country. My 2012 bull. We we in 24 miles. Didn't see any bears.

[Forks]

Puyallupaul, was this a guided or self guided trip? Regardless, congrats on a beauty!

Little John, is that even real?  Holy Smokes, that is a monster rack.  Congratulations to you.

Looks fun! Hopefully 16 miles is far enough?

Have had zero issues with grid back there. I have seen 6 or 7 griz in the last few years. Never had an issue at all. Most are a long way off while glassing. The few I have seen close run like heck to get away.

This guy was 800 yds through the spotter. Saw him 3 or 4 times on the same ridge last year.

Good luck, Start training. You'll need to be in shape if your not going with a guide.

Which outfitter are you going with? That is one of my dream hunts. Im hoping to save enough coin to be able to take my Dad before he cant hunt any longer.

Last time I hiked in there I almost got mowed over by a horse ripping down the trail at a pretty good gallop.  Two days later met with a guy on foot headed the opposite direction and he asked me if I had seen a loose horse.

From what I understand Paul shot one of the largest bulls his guide (Mills I believe) has ever seen there.

My partner and I are going through sun canyon lodge out of Augusta, mt. It's just a taxi ride. All our gear and josh is dropping us off. Those bulls are beauties! Honestly, this could be something we do every year, so I'm hoping to see the animals more then anything. Yea, i hope we stick something, but 15-20 miles deep in an area that we've never been is gonna be tough! We are both committed and ready to roll tomorrow if we had to.

Gotta love the BOB!!!  I'm ready to go back.

We only saw 2 sets of Grizzly tracks over the 10 day hunt.

Josh runs a great outfit, I hunted with them last year. We saw one fresh set of grizzly tracks in six days. The Bob is an amazing place.

[jstone]

My boss went in the BOB 2 years ago slim pickens only saw a few elk and not any bucks to shoot. They rode in like 24 miles or so? not sure what outfitter he used. Is there better areas than others? I dont want to spend lots a money and not atleast see animals,

We had a similar experience but we know the animals were there. We ended up going during a full moon and the weather was very very warm without a cloud in the sky almost all week.

Elk are somewhat sparse in the Bob relatively speaking, there are many places in MT that have much, much higher densities (elk & people).  The wilderness is a place where you go to have a different experience than driving the roads in the Little Belts.

 I happen to hunt the Little Belts and there are MANY places to hunt where you are away from the road.

The elk hunting was Good, but you had to work for it. There were a couple bulls in every basin.

The deer hunting was REALLY good and we were there on a bad year (weather and feed).

I was thinking that was the bull taken with R. Mills.
