RE: Montana Elk hunters.....
Muley, I just went out this past weekend and on Sat. the 11th I heard one bugle in the morning. On Sunday it was another story, I watched a 330 class bull bugle his head off and chase his cows around for about 20 to 30 min. There was another bull in the area and he was bugling also. I was about 30 yards from a bull ripping up a tree with his antlers and when I tried to just sneek in a little closer I was 20 yards from a spike. I walked about 75 yards down this ridge and jumped a 4x4 raghorn. I bet you are wondering why I didn't try for a shot and that is because I was hunting mulies and I didn't have the special permit for this area. Of course it was in the breaks but not down by the river. I know next year I will make sure I get a permit for this area. It was awsome just watching them.
