Mt View archery elk hunt.( Updated 9-22)

It's none of the mentioned guys with mossback that found the bull.. Someone I know. 460" is the estimated score of this bull.

Anyhow.. Quick update.. No bulls down or shots. Found 5 bulls in a canyon no cows. I chased a 350" 6x7 for 2 hrs yesterday got as close as 81 yards.. Heading back after those bulls either tomorrow or Wednesday. Hell of a hike in and out we are beat down. 2,300 feet down to them and out takes a toll.

That country will break a guy in a hurry... mentally and qhysically. I came home today. Lost 9 lbs there. Needed a break. Not sure if ill make it back or not. Had some family stuff happen last week and i came back to be with them and rest. Been getting i to bulls down there tho. Almost had to shoot a very angry bear yesterday that i walked up on in the brush... popping its teeth and hair standing up at 5 yards! Full draw and yelling at it. Finally after about 25 seconds it ran off.

Back for 2 days.. My body is tore up! Go back and give her hell for final 6 days. See big bulls almost daily . I made it in  back after the big 6x7 got super close again! A rag 5 bedded 44 yards to my left screwed up my plans! Watched the big bull for over 2 hrs shred trees and chase spikes. I called in a 270"ish 6x7 at 12 yards not what I want to hang my tag on.  One of the bulls I'm after.

    Here's what happened when I was there. Day one 6x7 called in for my buddy at 56 yards he did not fill good about taking the shot so he passed. Day two back in the bulls called a big 6x6 somewhere around 330 if I guessed. Came into 12 yards from the shooter with no shot I was hiding behind a stump about 10 yards from him while the bull tried to figure out were the noise was coming from. He got tired of us and buggered off. Then I packed out a bear for a buddy that evening. Day three Was a rest day for the hunter so we went down in the farm land and looked for bucks with no luck. Day four Back down in the canyons looking for elk could not call one in that day but spotted 3 big bulls for the next days hunt. Day 5 got into those bulls we had spotted both mid 300 class 6x6 and 6x7. Could not close the deal 17 hours on that day almost killed Dave my buddy with the tag. Day 6 heading home with no bone but the sheds I had found along the way.
    I got him talked into going back he had a good friend go back and help this time. Turns out you just have to be in the right place at the right time. he shot a 320" bull yesterday and found out what the real work is like. Congrats to him he didn't give up and it worked out.
    I hope all those other tag holders fill there tags all of you seemed like great guys. Dig deep a don't let those hills get the best of you.

Congrats to your friend. Very nice!
