back from Elk hunting. it has been very disappointed. But I still had a blast. I've saw 1 big bull moose, 1 bear, 23 bucks. 4 have been 4 points. 1 was at 608 yards 2 over 500 and the last one was a 100 yards.
I noticed a 2 point. I watched him for a couple minutes. Then looked to left and saw a big buck. I look with my binos he has 2 stickers on either side and then he bolted I had no time to shoot. He was easily the biggest buck I've seen to date.
Then yesterday I was walking up a slash and just as day break I noticed an elk about 200 yards away in the slash. I put my binos on him and looked. Big bull I started counting points and all I could count was 5 on each side I couldn't quite see if he had the 6th. Then all of a sudden I herd a bugle from above and the bull bolted toward it. Awesome I thought to myself another bull in the area. Then a big bang. **** **** I said.
I walk back to the truck and drive to the top road where a local hunter stops me saying he shot a 6x6. Dam it was my bull dead. Boy was i disappointed. I had to make sure he was legal and I couldn't.
So I offer to help him drag and load him up. Well he gave me the heart and liver and a backstrap for helping him. Great guy.
The elusive elk has still been my kryptonite. Maybe one day I'll harvest one
