I'm a little worried
« on: October 20, 2011, 04:07:26 PM »
Have an observatory bull tag that opens in a few days. spent the last ten years in the area hunting elk and know that it can be a hit or miss situation in the area we hunt. I've spent the summer scouting multiple times and have found some nice bulls.well I've spent the last few days hunting deer while mainly scouting for elk. didn't see one elk but saw some sign. I'm just a bit worried on about my chances now but I know it could change in a day. just looking for some assurance and people to help get me outta the dumps.

The elk are still up high, been scouting alot.
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Got the Peaches and feel the same.  Good luck to you :yeah:
If hunting was easy, they'd call it killing....

Never judge a man til you walk a mile in his shoes.  That way when you do judge him, you will have a mile head start and he will have no shoes.
