My brother and i left Friday night and went to meet an old friend down by cowichie unit.
rolled in about 11pm to his place then we were to bed and up at 430 to hit the hills and search for critters.
it was 37 degrees and crisp.
got up to about 70 by 3pm.
we brought our rifles for possibly a bear but never did get on one.
ran into a bunch of elk from about 530 am till about 11 am. Saw a bunch of deer too but no big guys. mostly spikes and does.
The second big group we came up upon was when we were regrouping on a logging road and in the silence we heard the chuckle and whistle of a monster bull just down the hill from us. then the cow calls started....
just about that time we looked around us and were surrounded by cows and bulls. Didn't get a great look at the bulls but by the bugles they were not small

.
they talked and chirped and chatted for about 5-10 min and we just listened with grins.
then we chased them down the hill and went on our way.
my bro and i had some pretty cool moments this weekend and i cant wait till we are back in the woods again.
Get in the woods guys cool things are happening....
