Title: I'm a little worried
Post by: johnnyaustin44 on October 20, 2011, 04:07:26 PM

Have an observatory bull tag that opens in a few days. spent the last ten years in the area hunting elk and know that it can be a hit or miss situation in the area we hunt. I've spent the summer scouting multiple times and have found some nice bulls.well I've spent the last few days hunting deer while mainly scouting for elk. didn't see one elk but saw some sign. I'm just a bit worried on about my chances now but I know it could change in a day. just looking for some assurance and people to help get me outta the dumps.

saw some dandy bulls below little bald(baldy?) mountain during muzzy deer season, bigger one had 40 cows/spike, smaller one stole 2 cows..... the smaller one was a 6 X 7

I have the same tag.  I had seen a couple shooters a few weeks ago, but lately they have been holed up somewhere.  I will be back over on Saturday to do some more scoutong and some deer hunting.  Really looking forward to Monday!!
