    Re: Rocksteady 2019 Dear Diary

    Good morning Rock, I just was wondering why you find the need when our wildlife population is in such bad shape to kill enough wild game to feed three families?*
    are they on welfare and cant afford to feed themselves? are the physically impaired so they could not try for thier own game? I follow your posts and have the utmost respect for you but in these bad times for our wildlife i just dont see a need to kill everything that walks to feed other families. In my mind this is the 21st century and not the 1930's just wonedering your rationale

    Tthis is the note i got..

    I will never divulge who sent it to me.. maybe if he/she rereads it they will understand how silly it sounds..

    Hunters are huntings worst enemy!!!

    Keep it up and your efforts should pay off. We had another bull within 50 yards but would not reveal himself. Up in the higher country so hopefully the action hits your spot soon.
    Yup, that coiler is a personal best...

    I hear ya. That's why we only do morning hunts up high and multiple people with guns and spray. Solo we go low for sure.

    Good luck to you and stay safe.
    Make sure you have jingle bells around your neck to scare off the grizzlies.

    Another awesome but empty handed day.


    Went back to the same spot this morning and constant action at the river. But it was different.. biggest herd i saw was 10 cows with 2 spikes.. saw a bachelor band of 4 spikes (got within 80 yards before they vanished like ghpsts). All together, probably 60 or so elk.. and a bunch of whiteys too..


    Yesterday they were all in large groups.. today.. nope

    Sooner or later some big boys have to show up.
    If they are on private land and without permission, then it is tough.
    But a decent satellite should make his way over to you.
    But I don't need to tell you that.
    Been a bunch of years since I seen a decent herd together.
    I also am hoping that the lack of wolf sign "last season" may pay off this year, IF, they still haven't returned.

    I suspect we will be seeing some success pics soon.
