I will note that the cows were smart but the "bachelor" herd was dumber than a box of rocks. They were bedded in the middle of a dirt field and watched us walk by them. About thirty yards away they got up and walked off. But not before stopping ever twenty yards to watch us. Then I swear wherever we went they seemed to follow us and would then move off. Just to bump into us again.
When those genes entered the gene pool the life guard must have been passed out.

It would probably be about like pulling up to a refuge viewing area with 20 people watching and start blasting elk.
I suppose there are some that are so bold. :dunno:

Your family let myself and some friends archery hunt their ranch a few years ago, we could only shoot the cows and small bulls, the big dude was off limits! He was the BIGGEST bull I have ever seen in the wild! We had some video footage of him tearing up some trees, bugling and chasing cows. He was a 7x8, later we heard a muzzleloader shot him, we heard that bull scored just under 380!!!!!!
I still remember when that bull walked by us at 40 yards just before dark.............. :yike:

Dont advertise it, those who eat an elk a month and overharvest may decide to hunt your herd....
Can you give me directions I am on my way. :llam: LOL

Shut up all of you, stop teasing me. My family owns a ranch in Eatonville and it's enough temptation as it is to want to hunt over there without y'all talking about big bull elk all over the place. This year I have a good chance of drawing my Peaches Tag. My mind is like a game of pong gong from one thought to another.

Holy cow 380. Damn that is one big mother. Why couldn't you shoot the big one? My uncle doesn't seem to care about elk that much. Which is weird because if I owned the property you wouldn't have been able to shoot the big one either, but that's because he'd be mine. How did you guys do? I've always wanted to hunt my uncles property. Finman are you the guy that my uncle takes his boy scouts over to hunt whitetails every year?

Dave would not let us shoot that monster bull, said he or a good friend was after it. We could respect that. Hunting small property elk can be fun. but it gets real frustrating when they don't cooperate or they leave and don't come back for a week.
A couple years ago Mary called me and said to bring my dad out with his muzzleloader and shoot a cow, there were about 30 head in the pasture, we grabbed his gear and flew out there in time to have the herd jump the fence and cross the road to the safe side! :'(
I won't ever forget how big that bull was! :yike:
