Work couldn't be slower! :bash:
But all I can think about is bull elk! Next Monday morning ill be loading my dads old 30.06 that he used to kill his big bull elk from back in '82 and ill be hiking hard in search of trophy. I have the whole elk season off if needed and hope my body can take the beating its going to get! I'm hoping it'll be a hunt ill never forget!

Special permit in the blues!
-

Mountain view!

Be picky theres some big bulls in there good luck
-
Good luck Mavrick take lots of pictures.
-
Thanks guys, what do you consider a big bull?
-
Maverick..good luck. If you get in a bind go to Saddle butte trail head of grouse flats rd. That elk camp there is full of great guys that can give you some advice. I do know someone in there party did draw same permit however. If you get weather elk will come down in there from Lick Creek. Also waiting until spike season will allow you to ask spike hunters if they are seeing any big bulls and where. Be patient. Have funa nd like Turkeyman said ..take lots of pics.

Can't wait to hear your story and see pic's.

Don't forget- your "big bull" permit is also valid for a spike. :tup:
-
:yeah: :chuckle: Big bull hunt's always crack me up. Since most are any bull permits :chuckle:
-
But we call it a big bull permit because thats the goal! Thanks for the advice yelp! The goal is a 320 plus bull. Is that a good range or should I be aiming higher in that unit?
-
aim dead on out to 250 yards ! then aim higher :chuckle:
-
From what i seen during archery in there 320' is a good number.
-
Is there anyone else on here with the same rifle permit?
-
320 is a good number. When I left there were still alot that size. There will be after you leave too. Take your time and achieve your goal.
