WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
There are some great folks in the area that are willing to help share local knowledge where they can. Through my discussions with many folks, both residents and visitors to the area. I found that there are those who love the elk, and those who wish the DNR never reintroduced them. Each person... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
We started off the next day no better than the last, temps were under 20 degrees, and dense fog. You may ask yourself what do you do in the woods when you can't see? The answer is take a nap and wait for the fog to lift. Well maybe only one of us took a nap. It is more difficult to hunt with... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
The next day was a bust as well. we had rain and fog all day. We were limited in our visibilty to around 50-75 yards. Everything was damp, cool and quite but we gave it our best effort, hopefully tomorrow will be better. -

Congratulation on the draw @MITCHMO I will be very excited to hear how this goes. I know of one other individual who was drawn for the bull tag in MI, I haven't heard if they have been successful yet. -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
Weekend time, sorry wasn't around to rely, I will get back at it today. We have a little place out in the woods that is about 30-45 miles from where we did a fair amount of hunting. I home is about 4.5 hours away from our place in the woods. -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
We started off about a half mile from where we wanted to hunt in the afternoon. From there it would be about a five mile loop. I didn't want to drive and potentially push anything or put them on alert. The wind was not in our favor for the first mile but from there the rest of the hike, it... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
We are now a week out from the hunt, and I think we have a plan. You have to remember I have never hunted elk before, I don’t know what I am doing and I am second guessing every decision I am electing to make. I am going to go scout as if we were hunting starting on the Wednesday before the... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
Given the weather we had on the weekends leading up to the hunt it was rain, and mud and more rain and more mud. With the constant wet, a rubber type boot was a good option. I am surprised how well muck boots hold up to hours of walking per day. They really are not that bad to walk in for... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
Tomorrow we will be laying out the game plan for the final week of scouting and finalizing the plan for the hunt. It is getting down to crunch time. Schools have been put on notice, I am randomly packing random items. The rifle is ready? Check. Hunter is ready? Check. The shooting... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
Season is getting closer and the sighting are starting to improve. Even this blind squirrel can find a nut from time to time. It is time to start narrowing down the hundreds of pins I have on the map to something actionable. As the list of areas is getting shorter and shorter. It is... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
I had more than one person see her rifle and tell me that isn't a hunting rifle and "that's a great starter cartridge". I know it is not traditional, but to her, it's familiar. She has shot PRS over the past few years and chassis are where it's at in that game. So a magazine fed bolt action... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
What makes some of the scouting challenging is determining what is a road and what isn't. In the first photo it looks like a road but according to the forest service technically it is not. They were very clear that if they catch you in a motorized vehicle on a non designated road while you are... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
Why is it when you are looking for elk all you find are deer? These couple does came out of the woods at about 300 yards and walked in to 50 yards. They had no fear and just wanted to check us out -

Scouting Putting in the miles: So what do you do when you have never hunted elk before and you are challenged when it comes to e-scouting? For us it was boots on the ground. By the time the season started I racked up almost 10K miles in driving from our home to the hunting grounds and all the... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
While all this ground work was happening over the summer I was trying to figure out which rifle she was going to use for this hunt that would provide her with a solid platform. The age old debate around calibers was floating around in my head and I only had once criteria, Short action as that... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
I thought I would share our experience when it came to a one in a lifetime hunt for elk in the state of WI. For those of you who don’t know there has been a reintroduction effort for elk in the state that started back in 1995 and has been significantly funded by the RMEF and private donations... -

Know your roads
Second the Avenza. I had recent conversation with the national forest service folks in my area and they were very clear that if your location / vehicle was not on their approved road it was game over. The app is not as nice to use as say OnX. However they stated it was the tool they would use... -
