Title: Last day elk Early Season
Post by: krout81 on December 08, 2015, 10:45:44 AM: Got this elk last day @ 6:15 or so
We went down a dead end road that was blocked by concrete blocks to call and hope a bull would answer back in the last hours of light. I let out a spike bugle and a few cow calls hoping to hear something. A few seconds after I heard a crack and a cow so I flipped on the camera and my dad and I split up going off each side of the finger. The ferns were chest high so I calf/cow called on my way to the end of the finger. Before I knew it there was an elk standing in front of me at 10 yards behind a tree with just enough showing to shoot. Found it 80 yards away of course at the bottom of the hill.

Seriously big sword fern there. An elephant could hide in that stuff!
