Title: Spike Bulls
Post by: jstone on June 18, 2020, 10:07:18 AM: The unit I hunt archery elk is a true spike unit. I saw lots of elk last year BUT no spikes at all. Did you see any spikes? How about at the feed lots to.? I will be out for true spikes this year. Just curious what everyone else saw in the way of spikes

I guess so, I have never seen that many spikes before. Every heard we ran into would have 3 or 4 of them. The bigger herds there would be more than that. I think the herd of 50 that I shot my cow out of had 5 or 6.
