Though I would post a quick story and some pictures from MT this year.
Back in mid Sept My buddies Jason and Bobby, our cameraman Nik and Myself headed to Mt to elk hunt.
We hunted for two weeks. the third Day of hunting Bobby drew first blood on a long tined 4x5 with a long range (8 feet) shot.
Two days later I passed up a nontypical 6x2 and 6 other smaller bulls (a act I ended up regreting)
On day 7 when elk hunting was slow due to heat we stumbled across a decent mulie buck that made the mistake of letting me get within 60 yards of him.
Day 10 We called in this beautiful 5X6 that Jason shot at 25 yards.
In the final 4 days of hunting I had shots deflected on two diffrent big bulls and ended up going home empty handed.
This past weekend Nik and Myself went back to montana to squeeze in a few more days of hunting before season ended. on Oct 12th I was able to sneak in on 5x5 in his bed and finely get my MT elk tag punched.

Elkslare- We actually didnt come across any wolf sign. We sure saw plenty the first week of sept in ID though.

Did you do any good in Idaho? I am assuming you were archery hunting for elk?

Nik is the kid in all the pictures with the video camera in his hand, he is only 17 and is one of the best outdoor videographers I have ever seen! It is awesome having him along capturing the action.
