Was in there for archery with a friend. Hopefully they are opening more units. At least the smoke should be gone for you.
Any luck? Or at least see some and have a chance?

Good deal.
I have popped a couple out there. A lot of the roads are really good and no issue, but there are a couple places with really sharp rocks.
Enjoy your time out there.

Before the smoke rolled in and they shut things down yeah we saw elk and one bull even got a pass. Things got harder when everybody was forced into the same couple areas. It can happen though. Hunt hard and stay positive!Was in there for archery with a friend. Hopefully they are opening more units. At least the smoke should be gone for you.

the archery hunters had all the prime units open for the better part of five days. There are a lot of bulls out there and some dandies. If you couldn’t get one in those units in 5 days I’d say there wasn’t proper scouting involved. All I heard and saw was archery hunters blowing out big bulls and forcing them into areas no one can hunt!Before the smoke rolled in and they shut things down yeah we saw elk and one bull even got a pass.

How’s it going out there?
I’m curious also, probably lousy since most of its closed

Lots of deer, plenty of nice bucks! Yet to see an elk, not much talk of elk although a lot of people are pretty tight lipped. Have met several great people that offered advice and exchanged numbers. Will keep at it!

Got some insight on the training schedule. Nothing else is going to be opening for quite some time. Like during the whole muzzy hunt and rifle tags.There making up for lost time due to covid.
Yes I was told the same thing. Disappointing to say the least especially when you throw the Master Hunters into the mix as well.

There are elk in 3 and 8, keep at it.
Hopefully I’ll bump into some soon! What’s your thoughts on 6?

I was drawn for a cow tag. Haven't been over yet to pick up my pass for the base. Do they give you a map of the different training areas when you pickup your pass or can this info be found online?
I’ve always been given a big fold out map with my rec card. Keep in mind the gym is where you get the card and they are closed on weekends currently.

I hunted the past two weeks. It was nice they opened a few more areas up out there. I was looking for a respectable bull. No rag horns. The luck I’ve had on this trip is the worst I’ve ever had hunting. One morning I had a shot at a 320 6x6 at 156 yards. Which I consider a chip shot. There was a barbed wire fence running down the hill and I hit a strand of wire and missed. What are the odds of that? Later that night I got on a 350 class bull at 80 yards at last light And got a round in him. He went up to the ridge with a cow pushing him up the hill. He was not looking good. Went back the next day and looked all day for him with no luck. Saw all the bulls and cows he was with and he was no longer around. That kind of put a real sour taste in my mouth. Did probably 10 miles searching and those breaks in there are no joke. Then on Sunday I ran into a master hunter who saw a nice bull the night before down in a heavily tall sage brush draw. I set up the spotter and couldn’t see anything. I dove off anyways. Got down in the and the sage was up there around 8’ tall. Bumped a 300 class 6 point that stood broadside on the hill at 50 yards. I squeezed the trigger and click. My secondary safety had screwed itself down from driving those great roads in there. By the time I got it squared away Bull was 270 yards. Yep terrible luck for me this year. Kinda hard to swallow waiting 13 years for a bull tag. I had some great opportunities at good bulls. I might have a little time to get back out this weekend. Maybe I will cross paths with a raghorn and everything will go just right :chuckle:
I thought for sure I'd have seen you post up with a masher!! We'll see you post one this weekend for sure.....

Last day bull with 20 minutes of shooting light left. What a roller coaster ride of a hunt. It’s not the biggest bull out there but with the way things played out with this hunt I could not be any happier!
Pretty happy when I got your text buddy! You put in plenty of time with all the ups and downs......Great job sticking with it.
