IMO nothing in this world beats trying to match wits with big bulls during the rut. It' s the ultimate high.
I couldn' t agree more. I got to archery hunt the rut this year for the first time. We drew cow tags, but I could' ve filled out on 2 P&Y class bulls, within 10 yards. The sights and more importantly, the SOUNDS of hunting elk during the rut is just amazing.
As some of you might remember from an earlier post, I am extremely hard of hearing, so for me to get to hear an elk bugle, it' s even more amazing!
