Hi guys, just got back from the elk trip. Was a lot of fun – wow I’m just beat. The elk didn’t want to cooperate at first so we ended up putting on a lot of miles looking for elk that wanted to ‘talk’… Finally got into some vocal elk on Thursday. We got one, and the other 2 of us had near shot opportunities.

Actually was able to hunt one of my favorite stands on opening weekend on the way back from the elk trip. Had a small 4x4, 3x3, spike and several does and fawns under 30 yards for about 30 minutes. Didn’t see any mature bucks – think it was too hot. Wish that site wasn’t so far away – no sure if I’ll get to hunt it much more this year.
