Drew the rifle tag last year with my dad and hunted a lot of days out there.  Was lucky enough to be there when my dad took his first bull elk (5x5).  It was the only elk that I know of taken during the rifle season.  Muzzy hunters took 3 or 4 bulls out of there though.  The firing center had a lot of areas closed during most of the season for training, and there were a lot of troops out there making BIG booms.  Sounded like a war zone so we didn't see very many elk.  The one bull and a few cows.  We put on a lot of miles in the truck getting up high and glassing.  We located the one bull up high and put a stalk on him when he was bedded down.
Definitely get out there, get registered and get your map they give you.  Just like everyone else says....take a spare tire or two.  If you need additional info, PM me your number I would be happy to help.  Oh, and watch for snattlerakes!!!

I once called a 6 point bull elk in from a mile away just because my buddy didn't think I could. Had him 30 yards broadside and let him walk, he wasn't much over 300" so I had to pass...

You say that like it's difficult.

Not difficult, but I didn't think that it would be proper to brag about all of the 400" bulls that I called in from only a half mile away...

yeah and you promised you'd shoot him if he made in by dark...you let me down!

although you can't shoot the 8x8's if you shoot the 6's

I hunted the bethel and it was 80degrees out and they would bugle once in the morning then stop and on the last day it got cold and the flip switched and I had a bill and cows go by me at like 5 yards but couldn't do anything because the cows were leading the bull and if I would have they would have taken off.. One had a green collar too lol

I could very well be 80 degrees every day during September in the desert....

True but u can spot and stalk.. In the bethel unit it is really hard to spot them in timber that has deadfall every 5 feet

I was in there last year and didn't have a problem spot and stalking.  I was in there this year and again, nope not a problem getting close to check out this years head gear...

why would you need to spot and stalk?

    I was thinking the same thing.  Why would the most elite elk calling champion need to spot and stalk???

Your going to want to buy some black shirts and pants it looks like since they have a fire burning up the sage and grass that way the elk your calling don't see you?  Just kiddin around... Have you been out there yet and got your lay of the land and bs gate check ins down?  Good luck
