Title: Wheres the elk?
Post by: TikkaT3-270Shortmag on September 18, 2016, 06:05:42 AM: Seems quite on here and not many pics. Is the rut not in full swing yet for the guys out there with struggle sticks?

There was at least a few screaming their faces off and fighting in 340 last weekend.

We haven't heard any bugling and the only thing that has worked so far was a hot estrus call and I got a small 4 to commit and gave my buddy a 20 gd shot which he passed on the first day. I had one other bull hang up then winded us.
Bull tag leaves camp today so now I need to find these dang cows and spikes. Haven't seen any in 6 days of hunting. May head up higher and see what's going on.
