Finally inside the 30 days to go mark for my Bethel Quality Rifle Tag. We have a couple of camera in an area we know well, plus we have cams in another area that is holding some animals. Will check the cards on Labor Day to see what the quality of the bulls are in the new area. The wife thinks I am in pre-rut right now

, I think the Phelps “Green Hornet” cow call is getting to her last nerve. Having hunted elk since 1970, this is the first time to ever get the chance to bugle one in and have a rifle in my hands. Pretty sure it will be a game changer to have the .300 Weatherby “Boom Stick”. Still need a few more evenings of practicing with the bugle, I have moved that to the shop so the dogs can get a break.
