Back home from the morning hunt.. nothing.. no see anything, no hear anything.
Saw a killer 4 pt whitetail in the dark within city limits on the way out and a cow and calf grazing in the dark on the highway right of way...
Night before last it poured all night rained steadily all day yesterday and was raining this morning when i went to my bait site.. sat there for 3 hours, nothing showed..
Checked my cam.. all of the elk are now hitting it at 730 at night, whereas before the rain they were hitting it around 7 am.
Not sure what to do now.. 125 pictures in 2 evenings and no bulls.. wtf?
Gonna have a hot meal, hot shower and ponder my options

That sucks....
I took a friend and his son after the bull I found the other day. There was a few shots fired but no blood.......
bull is most likely dead, no reason to leave the cows. rut is in full swing now.
Great thread rocksteady.
HBC needs more of this.

Thanks for the reports RS!
If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?

Right now it is nothing more than dink bulls all fired up ......meanwhile back at the ranch....the serious bulls (players) are biding their time when the the majority of cows are coming into heat. When you are the boss they don't interact until it is truly game time.
Been thru this dance too many times to not know when to hunt/target big bulls

Going to have to say your incorrect, perhaps where you hunt elk? but not here in the west kootenays. I cant count on one hand how many 360+ bulls ive seen killed in the first 12 days of september. low land farm elk sure... I can see that happening. but up in the backcountry mature bulls allways rut first. trust me
