Good luck, and stay safe guys. I'll be heading out tomorrow (Sunday), a day late and a dollar short like normal...
Went out before daylight for deer saw some, too hot, got time will wait for the big boy.
Im on notellum ridge right now. Saw a few cows and a small bull so far.
I saw 2 small bulls, 4x4 ish. No shot because I was in the truck. Like Mnt.man said too hot, not talking. I'll wait for cooler weather.
Good luck everyone!
My body is jello. We need horses. Saw a butt load of animals. The coolest of which were four bull moose. They stayed in front of us for over 45 minutes. We also saw four big bucks in a group. 2 were real big and tall. (I don't have an archery deer tag) They were within 200 yards and would have been an easy shot with a rifle.
All the bulls were together. I have never seen so many bulls in my life. We saw some real big boys. We also saw a bunch of cows. We saw well over 100 elk. They were not talking at all. The cows were cool but the bulls seemed spookey.
Edit- When I said all the bulls were together, I mean they were running in small groups of 6 to 8.

2 more bulls this morning comming into town. Both on private land, but still good to see. 1 was at least 6x6 and the other had a very unique rack, 4x6 ???? Looked like a twisted tree branch.
Went out this morning. Saw 3 doe and 1 4x4 buck. I found his path to and from feeding areas. I'm headed out again at 5pm [Coffee] I'll see if I can ambush him.
Good Luck!![Beer][Beer]Quote:

About 20 minutes later I looked back and saw that same buck standing about 40 yards from where we used to be!!! I had to punch my bro in the arm for that one! [Rant1]Quote:

Put my old man on a small buck Sunday afternoon. Just finished grinding, mixing, wraping, and now it's in the freezer! Now it's time for me a LimitedGM to bag and tag. Maybe Monday if all goes well.. Good luck guys, and be safe ( I took a nasty digger and rolled down a 20' bank).
Good luck Josh! Knock em dead!! [Beer]
Thanks Dave. I passed on several big 4 points, just waiting for that wall hanger. I'll post some pics of the 4-points later. Watched them for 1/2 hour or so @ 35 yards. [Beer]Quote:

I did call in a hunter when I was bored and let out a few bugles. He was down below, hauled ass up to us, when I saw him I bugled him the pledge allegiance to the flag[LOL]
[ROFL1]OMG that is awesome I bet he was pissed.Quote:

Is that where you're going next weak?? I have a friend I can call and ask. Not much of a hunter but he might have some info.
Took my bow for it's daily walk yesterday 4 hours, saw momma bear and 2 cubs, no big bucks, probably because MOON is so big. did hear a bugle up higher and a few squeeks.
Went up today just for the day. not a peep. pushed a large herd bull and some calls for a while, finally saw them way out in front of us in an opening. no calling would make him stop. came across a couple spots were some satellites were at but they weren't talking. not a damn peep. I'm waiting till the last few days to go up again. too damn hot.
Not much word from out hunting parties. Nothing much last week when they came home for a breather, they are up this week again, no word yet. (Above Rifle/NewCastle)
Dry or wet but not much for activity on the elk front.
Went out today and had 4 bucks with in 40 yards of us but couldn't get a shot because of some tree branches in the way. Then they caught our scent and it was all over. Should have one of them by next weekend...... I hope
Hi Evey body,
I was out this weekend I got a shot off on a big 4 by 4 mule deer 50 yards on the range finder. I missed i thought it looked like 40 should have shot what i thought. No bulls talking yet hopefully by the last weekend. I wish everyone the best of luck.

But they were making all kinds of noise, talking, whistling, bla bla!! [Bang][Bang][Bang][Rant1][Rant2]
