RE: Good luck to our elk hunting brethren!
I kind of feel sorry for those early season elk hunters. Wife and I went up camping this weekend and it got down in the 40's at night, BUT it was at leat 75 if not 80 degrees in the afternoon. So I'm sure the bugling is little and far between.
Hope the guys found some water sources to set up on.

RE: Good luck to our elk hunting brethren!
Probably the least talked about here but the most exciting hunt in my books is elk. Our archery season opened this morning and it was a pretty fun morning. I got in behind a herd of 25 or so but no dice. They were still out of range and i could not keep them there or move them closer as the sun was just starting to break. We yapped back and forth for a good while but i couldn't even lure a dumb spiker over. I saw a nice bull again last night on that field when i was scouting so hopefully he is out lurking again tonight. There is a pretty decent buck also hangin on this land which uses the same trail every night to enter the wheat field but i am not sure if i want to kill him and leave blood all over to ruin my elk chances for a few days. I guess i will really have to see him up close b4 i decide wether to givem the business or not. Pumped about this evenings hunt, just about to get showered up and head out.

Thanks. I'll need all the help I can get. This is my first year going after archery elk. I have a cow tag and called a spike bull in 15 yds. on Sunday. No dice yet on the cows. It is hot as heck out there. I'm hoping it cools down soon. I'll keep you all posted.
