Title: BUMPING UNIT ELK
Post by: BOWIZARD on October 09, 2013, 06:24:19 PM: Have a branched tag for modern in Goose Priaire, just wondering how the hunting went for the archery hunters? :IBCOOL:

On a more promissing note, one of my good friends had a multi season tag and headed up there last weekend. Much better response on activity and bugling. There was snow on the ground in most places as well. Should be a good season for you!

That's a big unit with lots of Elk, but they don't just hang out in the road.

Post by: BOWIZARD on November 01, 2013, 03:56:20 PM: Seen 2 bulls in 6 days, we killed them both. A 6x6 and a 4x5. BUT never saw or even bumped another elk. From 5500 ft to 3500 ft nothing for sign or animals.
