At 9:00 on tuesday morning, I was sitting over a dead bull. It was not the holy grail, but was a cool bull nonetheless. It has 30 inch spikes. It should be a good eater. The bulls were really bugling. We called in a nice 5 point and passed on a marginal shot. After that, we called in this bull, and I took him at 25 yards with a complete pass through. We are headed in on friday to try to fill my partners tag. We could have done it on tuesday, but figured that we better stick with one for the day. The last two years we doubled up and it turned out to be a huge chore.
The method that we used is outlined on elknuts videos. There was substantial bugling as we moved in, but things really lit up when we portayed a couple of hot cows being harassed by a small bull. After we started calling. the whole hillside came alive. What a treat..................
I will try to get a pic on here as soon as I can, right now I need a hot shower and a cold beer.
I hate you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And everyone else that is going elk hunting.
Just kidding, congratulations. Should be a tasty bull.
