This year will be a even more special of a hunt because I will be using my dads hunting rifle. For those of you that don't know I lost my father back in December of this last year. He was a big time elk hunter and my goal is to shoot a nice one in memory of him. I'm going to put all 100% of my effort into this. If there Isn't any blood or tears I failed.

Where are you planning on hunting? I knew a couple of people with the quality tag and they struck out. Didn't see hardly anything. I haven't seen many bulls this year from the peaches area.

I was in an area yesterday and had a bull screaming, but given the hole he was in I decided not to keep chasing as I'd probably be up there right now still packing out as I didn't have cell service to all for help, but they're there, just gotta be willing to go to areas most won't.  :tup:

Good luck Scott....I have an Observatory bull tag, and am excited as well. You may have the better tag by far, as elk have been high and hard to find from scouting and muzzle hunter reports. Need some snow in the high country!!

I was up in the high country on the little naches side this weekend and the bulls were still bugling and herded up with their cows.  We saw several branched antler bulls and the entire area smelled like a barnyard.  Good luck with your tag!

Sorry guys just now finely took off my boots and hunting gear. Been a long day that's for sure!! Any how I'll start this off by saying this hunt was 100% dedicated to my father. I owe all the credit to him. He raised us kids up in the hunting world and taught us a lot about what we know. For the guys that don't know I lost my dad last December at the age of 46 years old. It's been extremely tough and hard to not break completely down. Any how going into this hunt I had one goal, I wanted to shoot my bull with my dads hunting rifle ( for the online police it's now in my name). Last night coming home from hunting I saw a bull cross the road with 4 cows. So this morning the wife and I went that spot and hiked all over hell trying to find that bull. Coming up empty handed we then left and went up to where I saw a cow last night in the timber. Going down the road I got to a spot that I could look down and see a quite a bit. Not seeing anything I was just about to keep going when out of the corner of my eye I saw that color. That yellowish white color. Pulled up my binos and saw a elks butt. And above that was horns!!! Took 3 shots to put him down, dead on the first but I'm not one to let a animal suffer. Quicker the better. I had the Calvary come over and with 5 of us we were able to get him out in one trip.

I'm sure your dad is honored by your dedication of this hunt to him. Great bull. I'm sorry for your loss, I know how hard it is to loose a father way to soon. It just doesn't seem fair when they are taken so young. We move on but we never forget. Congrats.

Thanks everyone. It was a short, but very fun hunt. Monday morning I almost sealed the deal. Wife had to run home to do a few things around 10am. When she left I decided to go look around. On my way out I was driving down to the main road and looked way up the hill and thought I saw a elk. I pulled over looked through my binos and there was a bull standing there in a clearing. I took off up the hill and wow talk about steep and dark! After getting up pretty far into the timber I decided to do a few cow calls. Let's just say I had that bull bugling like crazy!! It was awesome. At one point he was no more than 100 yards. I just couldn't see him due to how steep the hill was and the trees. It was so exciting tho, felt like I was archery hunting. Played with the bull for over 2 hours just couldn't get him to show him self. He was loving my phelps cow call!! After awhile I think he got tired and worked his way away from me and never spoke back to me. It was intense tho.

Great looking bull.  I bet your dad is looking down proud as can be!

I have to wonder if he isn't somehow with you in that picture on your #69 post.  How else would you explain the distortion that turned a 24" or 26" barrel in post/pic #68 into a 36" barrel in post/pic #69?  That's kind of eerie and cool all at the same time!

Congratulations :tup:
