Watershed- Bulls move in there???
« on: August 25, 2011, 11:40:56 PM »
Two trips to the mill creek shed this summer so far.  Saw a few cows each trip and finally heard a bugle the last trip.  I was i there in 07 and seemed like the elk didnt show up in there untill right before the season opens.  Is that the case or is it just me?  Seems like the opposite of the norm...

I think they move in a bit closer to the end of August. My dad was up there a few weeks ago and saw 2 or 3. But we usally see more towards September. Do you have a tag this year?

I will be watching this post, my elk hunting partner has this elk tag.  He drew with 8 points, and I will be hitting those hills with him.

The elk are always in there. They show themselves more the cooler it gets but they're always there.

My dad and I drew tags this year.  Summer weather keeps everything nocturnal I guess...

yeah like bluebulls said they are always in there, ive been looking into the watershed just about everyday and the heat is just keeping them in the timber.

If I had 18 points there better be a helicopter to take me back out of the shed!
