    Lost in the Woods - Mental recharge season

    I may regret this, but sometimes you gotta make wild calls…. This morning I battled a bull in the willows and couldn’t get it done, but I also didn’t blow him out. So I backed out and made a game plan for this evening. I packed up camp mid day and set out for my evening sit. Well these...

    😂😂😂😂 that was great to wake up to! Today is the final day of hunting. I’ve had enough coffee and sour gummies to sustain a full squadron of airplane mechanics. Something is going to go down!

    Lost in the Woods - Mental recharge season

    Can someone explain to me where I am? It should be Montana, but it was 102 today and I almost got bit by a rattlesnake while stalking in on the big bull….. Yes - sub 30 yards, ready to draw on him quartering away with his head in the willows, and as I’m side stepping I almost step on this...

    Lost in the Woods - Mental recharge season

    They are all set up. Looks like they went in early to beat us. Not an issue though because the bull I’m set up on is no where near them. It also helps that their lack of understanding of winds pushed about 30 elk out of the willows while they set up (they don’t know) so my buddy has a spot...

    It’s the gents who walked in on us last night. They are walking through the giant patches right now mid day. Make it make sense

    Lost in the Woods - Mental recharge season

    This morning was another close call (less than 30 yards, but I only had his neck and head shown, nothing else and almost stepped on a cow), but irrelevant because I have a monster bull bedded in a spot I may be able to capitalize on. When I backed out I was approx 40 yards from him and I...

    Lost in the Woods - Mental recharge season

    Last night my buddy and I picked two of the thickest pieces we could find and decided to get a little eastern on the elk. We each got set up at about 12PM hours before anything would move to sneak in quietly. Well as luck would have it at 5:30 each of us has hunters walk in. They parked near...

    Well that one stings a little. I got to my glass point and it looks like a boat came in last night and set up camp in a little finger cancel that goes into where I hunt. There were two herds of elk down in the bottom. One was the bull I’ve been playing cat and mouse with (him and his few...

    I’m currently sitting at the top of the Missouri breaks watching 2 C-130s do chaff and flare drills and it’s quite amazing. I know that harmonic hum of props any day of the week. Tonight was another “so close” encounter. I put that bull to bed this morning and backed out. I tucked in...

    Lost in the Woods - Mental recharge season

    This hunt is going to be dubbed “so close” as it’s a common theme. My tactics are definitely working. I’ve been tight in on elk each day now and it’s getting closer to happening. This morning before sun up I could hear a bull screaming down at the bottom and talking pretty good. So...

    25 yards…. 25 yards!!!!! He was in some willows and I was able to do a long sneak in while he was racking. But I couldn’t get any closer and he didn’t want to leave those willows with sunlight left. His cows did though….. SO CLOSE!

    Sorry for the lack of updates. I’m out here trying to battle the elk and massive amounts of hunters. Full disclosure it’s not my favorite hunt, but that’s not stopping me from going as hard as I can towards success. It just doesn’t feel like an elk hunt or is my style. It seems like most...

    Lost in the Woods - Mental recharge season

    This morning is more what I’ve been looking for. It was the first morning we had a little chilly bite and there was a lot of fog down in the bottoms. Bulls were lighting off light crazy and I was able to get in tight on one. In fact feel like I was anywhere from 25-60 yards from him for...

    Hello from mud country. Put some elk to bed this morning in some willows. I backed out and will try to get in on them tight this evening. Almost got it done last night, but the wind swirled on me last minute.

    Hit/lost bull

    Did you find the arrow? What does it read? Any pictures of the blood? What did it read? Muscle? Lung? Liver? Etc Did he hear a hit? Specifically asking in case he heard the dreaded shoulder thud. As mentioned. It’s never ideal when bulls start climbing steep stuff. Most lethal hits or...

    Lost in the Woods - Mental recharge season

    We got some rain last night and more coming today. I am getting to experience how much it likes to hold on to your boots and layer up as you walk! That being said - I got into some elk last night. I had the herd bull at 10 yards in some tall grass, but could only make out his head. His...

    I know you were also worried we weren’t eating well. Have no fear. Walleye on the Blackstone tastes pretty good. ;)
