Since everyone else is going to be elk hunting I might as well too. I was fortunate to draw a decent tag this year, decent in quantity of elk in the unit but not on quality of bulls, so I hear. This trip is going to happen in the highest place that you can hunt elk in North America. I'm hoping the lungs can handle the 13000+ elevation we will be hunting.
I drew this tag solo and thought I would be hunting it that way. But luck was on my side and I was able to talk our very own elk bugling/calling expert Oak into coming along. I can't stress enough how fortunate I will be to have his expertise on the mountain with me. Let alone another person to pack out a bull from that nasty old canyon he's sure to run into. That is if I'm lucky enough to get a shot at one.
The plan was to leave today but with my sons football game tomorrow I figured the elk can wait another day. So I will be heading up to Grand J right after the game and hoping to arrive sometime Saturday evening. Sleep for a little bit then off to the unit arriving sometime Sunday afternoon. I will have Oak until the following Sunday and then it will be solo for the next few days. I'm hoping we can make it happen that first week.
I'll try and keep everyone posted on what is going on every few days. As long as I can find a place with service. Good luck to everyone out there chasing the dream and I'm looking forward to seeing all the great animals that will be shot while I'm away for the boards. Shoot straight.
