    Re: My 2021 Elk Hunt: the challenge bugle

    Morning of the 10th starts off with a echoey bugle from the timber in the ridge below as first light is cast upon us, we grab our gear and cut the distance before sounding off back at him, we exchange several bugles and we make sure our wind is good.. but as we get in to the vicinity of where we think he is, we let out another challenge bugle, and rake a tree in the hope that he'll come out to find us and we can count 6 tines....but this time, silence! He has gone completely silent, we wait and wait and wait but no sign of him....he's either winded us, caught a glimpse of us without us knowing, or my challenge bugle was a little too intimidating, because he vacated the area without a trace...buddy and I leave the area in despair and we get no other action the rest of that day.....we also found a tree he completely destroyed.....

    Really cool looking country.
    If the world is warming why are there so many new snowflakes?

    If we are all equal why do you demand special treatment?

    You can not comply your way out of tyranny.

    Fire them ALL!

    Typically I always consider the 5 W's when considering a location to build a shelter or setup at tent: wind, wigglies, wood, water, and widow-makers...well I looked at the forecast before departing and there was no forecasted rain, so I ignored the one 'W' and set up my tent in a perfect nook that was protected from the wind, but when the rain hit that night....well let's just say I had to move my tent and it was a fight to keep dry that night, I'll never do that again...

    The next morning we hit it hard covering lots of ground, but no action.....
