Way to go SB!!! Getting the first one is huge and you done good.

Hia, just got back from the elk woods and where we hunt we found the elk broken up still in small groups and not interested in anything but green feeds. Numbers are good just no gathering yet! Look out rifle season[]!!! Any ways I was able to get into elk on every outing by calling, however only a few cow chirps were heard back in response. Friday evening was close to let her rip on a nice 5x5 but a spike snuck up on me and barked ruining the party. Self imposed rule was leave any spikes, so I let him walk. Saturday morning I killed a limb while thinking I had a clear shots to the vitals on a cow. However redeemed myself by sticking a nice dry cow that evening, to keep my streakgoing - 8!


Best of luck Hia, not sure what stage their at in your woods yet but it sounds very similar...use them calls and be ready!

PS Every bow hunter I talked to said quiet and small groups.
