yeah I took the pic..... Right off the Internet lol.  Pretty sure that bull is a little out of his unit, probably more like the yellow stone unit would be my guess . Nice little bull

He seen some bulls today but nothing on the ground yet. I feel bad... I planned on being up there everyday but due to a coworker being in a really bad accident it put us shorthanded so I cant get out.  I hopefully will be up tomorrow. I am pretty sure I know where a couple are hiding..

First day is in the books, we spent the night in the backcountry for the opener.  Went to bed with 4 bulls in this certain meadow, nothing huge but they had cows and were bugling.  Shortly after light, silence.  The next morning we were anticipating the 3.5 mile deep meadow on a Monday full of elk.  Instead, there was a guy in the middle of the meadow tying his shoes, not what we were expecting.  One cow was in the area and we didn't hear a bugle all day.  Found a drop tine 5x5 that won't bugle, just groans. Pretty cool looking bull but we are going to wait on him, he seems to be killable.  Today we are going to a different area, packed out of the wilderness last night and enjoyed a couple whiskeys with ICE!!

I was up there the weekend before the opener and saw that guys tent hidden in the trees.... I do not get why people camp right in the middle of elk heaven..

Well just got some food in me and a good drink. Today could have been a really good day, just wasn't in the cards.  Remember my wife only hunts when she draws a tag so she not as expirienced as us veterans.  I think bull fever got to her and pulled the trigger to hard.  She missed a nice 320 type bull, he was the only bull we saw today in our range. This rut just sucks, the weather is too damn hot and the moon is killing us like I said last post.  No excuses on this miss, just inexperience.  I reassured her that it happens to the best of us. She feels bad, so I'm not giving her too much grief.  At least it's not a wounded lost bull!!  Hopefully this rut kicks in hard very soon!  We are working our butts off so I think it will happen!!
