Mt. hunt
8 days spent in the wilderness first elk hunt for my son. Four hour ride into camp easy trail, next day ride to spike camp, help set that up.Night before opening day (sept.15 ) heard bull most of night,caught up to him at daylight, called him in and son filled first elk tag 45min into season.Next 4 days only game outside of park are grizzly bears, up close and personal twice within 30 yards of grizz. What a grizz sound like when they crawl, you know it when you hear one!! On last day of hunt tied horses up at 6:30 still hunting heard bull at 7:45 called to him saw him for about 3sec. and then disappeared. Told guide that was a herd bull , he did not thick as they very seldom ran into herd bulls discussed the fact that his bugle was to deep sounding and the big fellow didnt want to fight and lose his girl friends. Started walking again until 10;30 sat for a rest and snack got ready to head for top of mountain and then saw cow and calf below us , son saw bull then one bugle. Bull had small amount of cows and calves. They were coming up the mountain just to our left perfect shot as they passed a clearing, only bull just disappears! see him 75yds pass us as he is headed up mountain at this time son sees satalite bull 300 yds behind herd. I see cows switchbacking up mountain and for fallen tree for shooting rest. This time bull does not get past!! Sure would rather be lucky than good. my second elk hunt in wilderness and first time for son 2 nice bulls for flatlanders from east. Hunting with son is BEST, I am very luck man pacemaker installed Aug. of 04 and then elk hunting wilderness of Mt. in 05 Wish all Hunttalk friends could have same enjoyment elk hunting with son or daughter and then getting 2 nice bull

WTF??? Great story & pics. Welcome to Hunttalk Buckeye....you too Yetty.
Awesome bull. Not sure I know or want to know why a grizz would crawl and i sure don't want to be close enough to hear it.
If that is the Yetty of old..aw chit, pull up a stump, tighten your suspenders and hold on. Moosie can hunttalk handle 1000 post per hour?
