2011 Archery Elk

[runniNgunnin]

had a cow(didnt know it at the time) at 30 yds but all i could see was the kill zone cause she was behind two trees... until she turned and trotted off down the hill through some brush....  that was friday morning and im on the east side so ya it was hot, loud and tough hunting. but never the less we got into them and it was a good time. now it needs to snow and late season needs to hurry its ass up and get here!

I've been out in Rimrock area (lower Pinegrass area).  It's DRY, DRY, DRY.  Hard to stalk.  I did get within about 25 feet of a bedded cow and 1x2 in some heavy branched stuff.  They took off and I never had a shot.  Did see a 6x6 and two other cows that were spooked by someone and they were moving!

A buddy of mine is hunting near Mt Adams, and they took 2 cows and a 6x4 the first 3 days!

I'm heading back out on Tuesday.  Hoping for cooler weather so they start moving around on their own.

What kind of rig were you in?  I hunted that area all last week. I almost got a cow at 10 yards but there was a little tree in the way, then I was busted.  I saw a few elk each day but they were way back in the thick stuff.  It was tough to hunt that heat
