BGHUNTER00, we had some good action on Sunday, also had a couple tid bits of action on Sat. BUT Sunday, we called in 4 bulls. One guy, first time and probably last time I've hunted with him, got to shoot at three different bulls. I never got to release an arrow. On the third bull that we called in, I was planning on shooting, but this other kid loosed an arrow before I was ready. He never killed an elk. Long story short, he needs to practice, or something. He missed a 50 yard shot, then a 35 yard ranged shot, I ranged it for him as I was sitting two yards behind him, then he missed a 25 yard shot!!! Made me sick!!! Only one of the bulls was real vocal, all the others came in silent! My good friend that lives up near Frasier, did all the calling, and he used a lot of cow calls, but also used a broken limb to do some scrapeing on a tree, imitating another bull. The wet weather really healp make it easy to move through the woods quietly. We snuck up on bedded elk three different times, without spooking them.
Looks like some moisture is possible again this weekend in my area, mostly on Friday. Looks like it'll be descently cool, high 30's to low 40's at night and 50's into low 60's during day.
From what we saw and heard last weekend, this weekend should be better, with more vocals being heard. I'm cranked up about this weekend, after last. The kid that missed all those shots won't be with us this weekend, thankfully. Maybe it's my turn to loose an arrow!!
Good luck to ya!!
