A good friend of mine had never killed an elk today so I took him into one of my areas this morning. OTC bull unit. Drove around looking where people were parked in the dark and then went down where I wanted to go. We parked the truck and waited about half an hour until it got light and started to get ready. My buddy was putting his jacket on at the truck and I walked back about 30yds on the road and let out a locator bugle, I was almost cut off by a bull that was about 200yds above us in the cut. I told him to grab his gun let's go! Ran up the hill about 100yds where it levels out and then drops into a bowl. I let out a few cow calls on the phelps ez estrus and then a quick challenge bugle. He ripped off no more then 80 yds below us in the fog, I cut him off with another challenge. Say for about 30sec, then a few cow calls. He ripped off another even closer so I did the same. Few seconds later je appeared about 30yds. Slowly coming in. I stopped him when I thought my buddy had a shot but he was behind a tree about 15yds in front of him. I had a perfect shot but he didnt! The bull got a little nervous and turned to walk off and went back over the rise. I ran up and told him to run to the edge. When he did that the bull barked so I barked back and he stopped. My buddy raised up and shot, dropped him in his tracks about 100yds! 6x6 down 200 yards from the truck, 10 minutes and bout ter shutting the doors! Not bad for his 1st elk!
