Thought I was ready to go but getting back from Minnesota on Wednesday I realized I wasn't quite ready.  Going to try tomorrow evening.

Was going to head out and the wife told me she made a mistake on a family friends daughters wedding.  I was about 95% ready and now no place to go.  Too good of a friend to miss for just about anything.  This will be my first year elk hunting, 3 scouting trips and I wont be able to go early season.

Oh well

best of luck for those who get out

hunterrcc - Ya post the results, a picture and throw out a score so all the experts can tear you apart and tell you that it can't possibly score what you think.

That or you can keep it to you and your wife and enjoy it. Seems like the better option if you ask me. Nice Bull by the way. I'd of shot that bull anywhere with any tag. My daughter asked me this morning when she could pack out some more elk meat, lol! Rumors are already flying all over Eburg. You gotta love mass and character :)

FWIW, I have already seen cell phone pics of it. I was just hoping to see some bigget pictures. Dont know what it scores and dont really care. I know i would have killed it in a heartbeat.

It is a great bull and she made a really good shot. That girl is good to go when it comes to running thru the hills and making the shot count.

For all that want to see her bull...Well if you see a white truck with big horns sticking up driving down I-5 today it is her bull we are bringing them to show our grandparents the rack otherwise we have shown our friends and family that we want to show the pictures!!! Thanks again for the great time glad you could go pinetar!!! 

By the way I had a nice Rosie 6x6 in my sight this morning but passed on him to let the other guy that had walked in the same place I was hunting take the shot only because the elk walked out more towards him but he never had a good shot on it had I known that the elk would be dead! Darn there is always tomorrow.

I had planned on going but the 4 bulls that I know where they are living are all on land that is locked up due to fire danger.   :bash:  I did almost get one on my way home last night.  About 1/2 mile from my house a 5x5 darted out onto the highway in front of me followed by his cows.  11:30 at night and something was pushing them hard.  I think the locals were out trying to get a jump on the season and blew them out of the area.  They are now on a certain chunk of land where they are safe from being hunted.

correct me if I am wrong but I dont remember me asking for help or saying my wife drew a tag and I don't know where to go give me your secret spot.  Coach I do and did appreciate the tips people said but never were we depending on anyone else help to find a bull to shoot.  I found the bull she ended up shooting in one of our scouting trips. Then we hunted hard for 3 days following 1 bull over miles of terrain before ever getting a shot opportunity on him passing on a dozen other bulls mostly small young bulls.   Pine tar hit the head on the nail its a nice bull and we choose to keep it to ourselves! Some on here have seen it and they say its nice too so it must be. Good luck to everyone this season wish you all the best.

I know there was info shared and this forum is a great place to do so . I also know that you where willing and did work hard on a bull . I guess my point is why not share a story about the hunt ? I could careless about the score and any bull is a good one . There's only one state record and all the rest fall short so who care's about score . Yes it's fun to guess and the only time people get bashed is when they claim there 300 bull goes 350. Thanks to all the other members who shared stoys and pics of he hunts this year .

Congrats on the bull but why come on here and say anything about the bull and not share pics and a success story for everyone to see :dunno: to many people are thin skinned about the internet bullies

Funny that is what I was told about you by more than one person.   There isn't anyone on here that knows me that would say that so I doubt that is true coach.  If you want to see the horns call me and come see them in person.

ouch ! i've only helped guys on here . I gave you some good info aswell and i'm sure if the fire didn't hit you would have scored in there on a dandy . my impression as you started your posts was that you where gonna share your hunt with us and I got a strange feeling when you didn't . Kinda wierd that people told you to watch out for since I havn't asked for any help on a tag of mine . last year when I gave bob a hand a few guys gave us pointers none of wich i've exploited . If you want to jab I have thick skin and can take it I know a guy out there hunting right now thats on bulls i've helped himwith in my home turf so I dont understand how i'm hideing any honey holes to my self . I think as far as genral hunts go a guy can find his own area and scout it out . If a guy draw a limited entry hunt and is willing to work hard for a animal im ok with helping out some . pm me a picture and you will see that i hard intagrity if i post it then you can call me a dush all day long and i'll take it .

I'll also tell you the one time I posted a pic of a deer that was sent to me by a buddy I pulled it with respect for the guy who took it and never once gave out any info on his location .

Hunterrcc, horns are just bone, but if you will give me your phone # I'll call you find out the directions and gladly come listen to the story and eat a pan of meat. :chuckle:  Congrats to the Mrs. :tup:
