Title: Mission quality elk muzzy
Post by: badlands07 on October 02, 2023, 08:48:14 AM: Any tips for this unit? Bulls have gone silent. My wife has one of the tags and it’s been a ghost town.

We had a really good bull spotted and then we ended up calling our way into the middle of 3 bulls and a bunch of cows and her bull came screaming down the hill to 40 yards and she smacked him in the lungs. Once we found the bulls we were in them pretty much all day. We were hoping for a monster but she’s 5 months pregnant and I told her if we make it to day 5 she can shoot whatever bull she’s happy with.

Congrats. Can't wait to see what she got.
Waiting impatiently for pics
