Headed to the Blues, anyone else?
« on: October 26, 2011, 07:51:56 PM »
 Been going down for 10+ years. I've managed to shoot one spike, but have come close enough times to keep me going back. We'll be camped out on WIllow Springs, white crew cab GMC.

I used to hunt the blues every year with.  But there are so many elk there that it got too easy.  So I switched to archery.  Nope still to easy.  Homemade longbow, nope still too easy.  Finally I hunted elk with a spear. When you can easily get 400" bulls every year with a spear and its not exciting anymore its time to give it up.  So I did.  Now I hunt the Colockum where there are no elk so its a much bigger challenge.

My experience as well....
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

More lies and propoganda!  Everybody knows the Blues and Colockum have the best elk possibilities and the meat is tender and juicy!  He's referring to the Observatory about no elk there and it being the toughest in the State, don't let him fool you! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'll be up there, I will not be hunting due to the elk all being relocated to the colockum but I will be doing some early teaching to my 18mo old son.... playing cards drinking whiskey and talking hunting :)

Woodchuck, I'll try to come find you and say hi, I was too busy during deer and never made it by.

Sounds good man, I looked for your truck during deer but didn't see it so I didn't stop. Will swing in for sure if I see you.

You two (bluebulls/woodchuck) better leave the big bulls alone.  I'm getting tired of going over there and not seeing any elk.   :chuckle:   Either they have moved to the Colockum or you guys keep chasing them into Oregon.
