Rifle Rut Hunt Reports?????

[firecrotch]

what doya think it scored?? anybody heard?? looks pretty narrow.  Hunting an apple orchard down in the lowlands doesnt appeal to me at all. I guess if there are elk there though hunters will follow and i would to if I had no other option

it scored 341 if you read into the article a ways.

I talked to the guy who had the rimrock tag and he did;nt get anything. He said it was so hot and dry that he only saw a spike and did;t shoot it.

He must not have got out of the truck very much then.  My  brother had the Rimrock ML branch tag and we had them screaming all over the place.  All the hunters we saw were the ones driving the roads and bugling from their truck.  Not trying to call your friend a road hunter but the bulls in the Rimrock were screaming.  The only time they shut up was when that cold front with snow hit.  After that they were screaming again.

Got the report on the Wenaha East Rifle Hunt Tag.  Big 0 not sure the flavor of that soup but should be real hard to swallow. nwhunter and I tried to help them but they were going to do it on their own.  Some one earlier said there are no Big bulls in Wenaha East, that 320 is about it. Picked up a camera Saturday that had some good pictures to prove otherwise.

I am trying to still choke down my bow tag but that rut tag soup would make me puke, would like to hear the story on that. Dave there really aren't that many big bulls in the wenaha units so don't try to convince them of it they are all in the dayton. LOL  nwhunter

I guess I was seeing things there.  Actually Scott the Watershed is still the hot place to go. The big boys have their anual powwow there August 15 to Jan 15 yearly. Had a BIG cat, small bear, and a few bulls, cows with calves on the camera I just picked up that was north of our last year camp.  John  did not say much about the hunt except they could not get a shot. A real bad taste.
