Dirt, sounds like you had a great time. I toohave passed on a few elk but not a 6x6. On my last day of out of the 4 dayswe hunted so far. I had a spike and a small raghorn come into me when I was trying to call in a 6x6 up the hill about 150 yards away. They were milling aroundlooking forthe otherelk(me) 35 to 40 yards away. I know I could have brought them closer withcalling and the decoybut I didn't want to shoot them and they were in my way of moving closer so I just stoped calling and waited them out. It took them 20 minutes to leave and by that time the bigger bull had moved off into the timber. It was close to 11:00 and was getting hot fast. I didn't want to ruin it and bust the bull out of his bedroom so I decided to wait, and go after them in the afteernoon. But aftertalkingwith my hunting partneroverlunch I found out he was sick and needed to head home. We were planning on hunting until dark but oh well thats life. That was last monday and I haven't been out since. I want to be out this weekend but I have to tend to a bow shop for a friend who owns it here localy in Idaho Falls so he can go hunting. Oh well I still have from the 17 to the 25 plus evenings to go and kill a big bull! From the 20th on I think I will be willing to take almost any elk, but then again I still have elk meat left over from last year. Plus a good eating home raised 4-H pig will be in the freezer this next week so meat is not a need. Also I know thatI would ratherkeep huntingfor a bigger bull up until the last full day, then fill my tag early. My last archey killed 6x6 bull was in 1998 and its time for another, I know that will never happen ifIpunch my tagon something less.Lets just say I can wait to have some more fun and find out what happens!.
