6 days of hunting, only spotted 5 elk. all on hostile ground and singles with one cow/calf combo. weren't even seeing many deer. very weird. the ground we had access to had no fresh sign newer than a couple of weeks. our hot-dog spot near the shed hasn't had elk since summer, according to the sign! :yike:
strangest elk season i've seen. no deer, no elk, only 1 coyote. there's usually some elk in the canyon behind my dad's place during spring/summer, but not this year. my dad didn't fill his old man doe tag, either! :yike: :bash: sure, he could have shot one that he feeds in the pasture, but that's not much fun.
so along with his doe tag, he's eating his cow tag. >:( :bash:
hence, elk hunting is dumb. ;)

It sounds like a cat (or wolf) to me, we hunt the same hillside every year and there are ALWAYS elk there. This year the elk were holding up about two canyons away and the deer and elk didn't hang out where they usually do. During a buddy's bull hunt he killed a cougar on that hillside. By the time modern elk rolled around the hillside was full of elk again. Time to do some predator hunting.

that is all. :bash: :bash:
:chuckle: You probably haven't been elk hunting very long if that thought hasn't crossed your mind at some point. It's only dangerous if it stays there. Fortunately, my memory is short and I forget how cold, wet, miserable, tired, discouraged I am about 10 minutes after I get warm or get some food in me. Then I can't wait to go again.

:chuckle: :tup: glad someone did!
one of the hardest things i find about going back to work after a week with the old man and his buddies in the mountains is readjusting how i talk. when you're around the office, it's no more motherf-er this and c*ck-s*cker that... :yike: :chuckle: can't wait for next year! :tup:

We saw In excess of 120 elk, many extremely huge bulls, several elk called in as close as 10 feet, 4 shooters which my brother pasted one and nephew missed three, everyone home safe, 1/3 elk in everyones freezers anyway again this year ... :tup: good trip for us once again. It just doesn't get any better, but would be interested in how you call in some of those boobies. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Just open your wallet..... :yike:
