    Non-Game Species Encountered in the Field

    While elk hunting in Arizona this fall, i had 4 different humming birds try taking me out. Best i could figure, they were attracted to my orange mouth call.

    No elk for me, but for the most part had a great trip. Will start off with the negative aspects of the hunt. 1. The pressure was insane, not just road hunters, there was a steady stream of them till the last 4 days. Actual people out in the woods hunting, i had more encounters than i do fingers...

    Been a relatively slow week for me. Had a big bull tuesday morning, just couldn't pull him those last 40 to 50 yards to be in range. He come in silent with his cows, got to about a 100 yards and then started angling away from me. Had a nice bull across a canyon from me thursday afternoon, he...

    Day 1: chased around a nice 6x6 (310ish) in the morning. Got to within 100 yards twice before a couple other hunters blew the heard up. I might have gotten in range on my first setup, had i been more aggressive. The second setup, it was to open and too many eyes to get closer. He wasn't...

    It's really hard to sleep here, with 2 bulls, non stop bugling outside your tent.

    As the title implies, I'm not much of an elk hunter. I've had 3 previous tags, all otc in colorado. I applied for one of the better units and got really lucky and drew an early archery tag. Leaving Monday the 11th, plan to be there til i tag out (not very likely) or season ends. I'll update my...
