My plan for next year is to learn much more about elk hunting, practice my archery skills, scout, scout, scout and pray for weather.
Good plan JB!
Agree with that.
This was my first year with a bow also and I had a blast even though I didn't kill anything. I was in elk 7 out of 9 days and could have killed a cow but was looking for a bull and stayed the course. Learned a lot and will be back in the same area next year. Found a lot of fresh sign today also in another unit and have 2 days left that I will be able to hunt so hopefully with a little snow and some luck I can still get some elk meat.
