Hate asking for help but here goes nothin
« on: October 26, 2014, 06:42:59 PM »
Well I don't usually ask for help believe in the whole " hunt till ya find em" method,but unfortunately this year the elk arnt cooperating, I have hunted the quilomene all my life for elk and usually have good success,this year my grand father drew a cow tag,hunted the quilomene today for spikes and didn't see a single elk, seen 1 set of fresh tracks,so my question is,anyone willing to point me in the right direction for what could be my grandfathers last hunt, the cow tag is 328,329, no experience in 328, we have permission for the wind farm but hoping someone else will give us info on a couple other spots

Just got home from there.  Seems all the animals are down in the canyons. Nothing being seen on top. Get grandpa in a nice exit saddle and go push for him. Saw a few leaving Brushy canyon in one of the few exit saddles yesterday.

I would head down towards the Cape, Horse & Stray Canyons. Also the old wheat field at the top of Stray & Horse. The Elk will be held up tight in the canyons or out in the open sage where they can see for a long ways around. I always get into a lot of elk down there.

check out the liberty area. There is a local herd that hangs right above town. Not many people hunt it. My buddy's wife shot her cow up there last year. It's worth a look.

Nope! You can say he breathed his last. My bro made a 396 yards shot with a 6.5 Grendel AR carbine and a 120gr Nosler ballistic tip. There was a first for him though. The elk had a arrow shaft through both nasel passages from side to side above the jaw and just in front and bellow the eyes. It was healed up and broke off on both sides.

There was one MONSTER bull with them. He beat feet the second the heard was spotted. Dropped off into the Tarpiscan.

I will be in 328 tomorrow if I find the cows I may try and connect with you if there are no spikes.  They havent been in the normal spots but the recent weather and hunter pressure I am hoping pushed em around a little.  I ran into a few during deer normally I run into A LOT so not sure what I will find but have a tag and some time so gonna go see whats out there.
