Well went out this weekend again and got my cow elk, had fun running around the hills. Heard bulls bugling and even had one coming in to my cow calls, but my buddy shot at one of the cows and he turned away and walked the other direction. Was hoping that he would come in so my girls could experience having a big bull come in and parade himself. Had the whole family out and seen a lot of elk, so far we filled 6 of 9 tags and everyone has had the opportunity to get one. Would post some pictures of the two we got but photobucket is freezing on me, so when I get it worked out will post some pictures.
yeah they are rifle hunts, the Game and fish put this season on to take some of the pressure off during the October rifle hunt. Is the way the biologist explained it to me when I ran into him on the mountain. Fun hunt, but hot and had to cut them up fast. My brother had a freezer that we ran with a little generator and when we got one we cut it in chunks and threw it in the freezer. So we did not lose any meat which is a big worry this early in the year, now for some elk burgers.
Actually the bulls were not bothered much, they were starting to bugle and were even coming into the calls, Tomarrow is the last day the rifle hunters will be out there, and if this last weekend was any indication there is probably not to many out there, we only saw about 12 hunters total outside of our party that were out this last weekend. But we did find a place where there were 8 bulls hanging out, all of them had the velvet scrapped off and where talking amongst themselves. Good luck to everyone, dove season opens Saturday cannot wait to go and try my luck again shooting at them.
