John LaRue and I set up elk camp this last week in a place I've only hunted once before this year and that was 14 years ago. We didn't shoot an elk but we did get some grouse. Well, I only got one but John limited out with his bow. Check out the video for some of the cool shots.
As for the elk hunting, it was fun. It was tough. We had success in the sense that we were into elk and talking to them but we didn't get a shot off. We did have a couple really close calls but that's what happens when elk hunting with a bow. There can be a big separation between close calls and finishing the deal.
Elk were talking but they weren't all that rutty yet. The bulls that had cows would rather take what they got and run versus challenging anyone that was stepping on their turf. The bulls that were by themselves seemed like they were content being alone. That might all change in a couple days. I still have some time off so it's back the the hills.
Keep 'em where they live...
