Idaho & Wyoming bound: pics added 10.28
« on: October 11, 2019, 11:09:05 AM »
Kinda quiet around here so figured I’d start my own thread as I begin gearing up for the next two weeks - S. Idaho and Wyoming Elk!

I somehow managed to stay married after last years dream season wrapped up.  I only had WY planned this year until the Idaho elk opportunity fell on my lap last week.  Two dozen roses later, a couple “I promise 2020 will be different” little white lies, and I’m hitting the road.

I was able to post updates / success pics last year when I hunted Idaho at the same spot, I’ll try to do so again.  I’ll luckily be off the grid in Wyoming, starting Oct 19th.  Can’t hardly wait for a week of wall tent living in the high country, as long as the elk haven’t already hit the wintering grounds with all these crazy snow storms.

Best of luck, all!

Idaho hunt lasted all of 45 minutes.  Had my bull sound off the moment I closed the truck door.  Best part was my 10 yr old was by my side.  We called cow talked him in from 500+ yds, all the way to 30.  Wind was perfect and he was a screamer.  What a show!  Will get a pic posted up soon..

Next up Wyoming.

Either the truck is good luck or the kid?  Either or it worked out just fine.

Thanks.  Memory of a lifetime, for the both of us.  I now have a full-fledged elkacholic on my hands whom is dying to tag along to WY next week.  I clearly remember the days of wanting to do the same with my Dad and couldn’t stand being in School knowing he was chasing elk.
