Glad to see you killed a bull up there. I spent the first two weeks of archery season camped where you are at, packed in on the horses. Didnt hear a bugle and saw 3 elk. We walked and hunted our butts off. Did you see the burn just below your camp? We were in our tent when the lighnting struck and started the fire. Good job.

Ya loved those potatoes. I would have thought you bow hunters would of had a good hunt. We seen alot of 1 week old sign. Some huge rubs in those meadows behind camp. Was there alot of bow hunters up there?

Ya those were my potato's. There were rubs all over the place. Where did you kill the bull? Below camp? There's a wallow and mineral lick down there and from the looks of the picture you were below that. Or you may have been across from camp between there and the main trail below?
Early hunting up there is hit and miss. We've been hunting that for 12 years and have found the elk are either there or they are not. Never very many. Never seen more than 10 in a herd, but that was like 10 years ago. There's some wall hangers in there but unless they are bugling, they are really hard to hunt.

Oh, and we saw one other hunter, about 1.5 miles below camp, and 1.5 miles from the main trail. We called him in on his way to his salt lick and ground blind.

We did see the burn. You must have pulled out fri morning cause we got there around noon fri and there was still a block of ice there. Killed my bull across from camp just above the main trail. Can't belive you didn't see more elk there was just a ton of week old sign between camp and the reservation! Thanks for the spuds we ate mt house meals then we had fresh heart and fryed spuds!

If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?
