IDBugler...elk hunting

[BuzzH]

IB, the elk hunting was pretty good this weekend, but the bulls were real sluggish, too hot I think. Calling like crazy, but flat wouldnt come in. Lots of bulls still together, including some nice 6 points.

Saw 162 elk, 21 six points (mostly 280-300 class) lots and lots of 5 points, raghorns, and spikes.

I kind of liked the looks of this bull, but with missing the 5th on the one side, didnt even bother to make a run at him...plus I'd spotted 2 nicer bulls. Dont have pictures of those...too busy trying to get close. Couldnt get closer than 80 yards from the biggest bull.

Photo quality sucks, but...you get the idea.

Saw lots of these guys:

Heard a cool down by Wednesday, could improve things.

Dude............. That is a heck of a report. I'm definitely going to be a pile of shet at work this week. That bull is cool looking. Very small 3rds but cool seconds, 4ths and mains. I can't wait to get up there and just hear them bugling.

Thanks for the pics. I hope I can add a few when I get back from my outing.

"Saw 162 elk, 21 six points (mostly 280-300 class) lots and lots of 5 points, raghorns, and spikes."

that's a lot of elk! Its hard to count that high and keep track even.

 

[Moosie]

Toms right, AGAIN. Anything past 10 is just made up. Most people can't count past that !!!

 

[Roadtrip]

I can count to 11, but need a free hand to work my zipper.

 

[Moosie]

What you meant was you can count to 10 and a half.......

Take note readers, 280 removes his lips from Buzz's azz long enough to mouth this astute commentary. Buzz chastises him for scaring the elk.
