Bored me. Takes real talent to shoot over the big tire waterhole on the ranch.
There was a big tire with water in it
Did you even watch the video? The elk was called in...not shot over a water hole!
And there was calling involved
Most guys would have choked with a bull that close ....Water Hole ??? Looked pretty fair to me :dunno::yeah: Bulls I have called in the closest I have not closed the deal on. Not sure due to choking- usually it involves brush.
Freaks me out to imagine hunting elk in country free of underbrush like that. Something I've yet to experience.

Nothing like peering through the salmonberry/Vine Maple and seeing the eye and nostril..
Or getting caught w/o cover when they come in, nothing to do but freeze and pray...

kinda hard for me to get excited about high fence huntsI'm not sure why people think this is a 'High fence' or ranch. Just because there was a large tractor tire for a makeshift water hole doesn't make it ranch. I've seen man-made water holes on State, Federal, BLM, and open to public, privately own, Forest land. Most are built by cattle ranchers leasing the property.

Regardless of where it was, I thought the fact that the guy just about got run over by the elk was the cool part. I hope hope to experience some up close encounters like some of you have talked about.Yep... that was COOL! :tup:

NOT a high fence hunt....that is a local hunt and the guys in it are members of this forum.
