What’s wrong with the bull giving you the walk away? Looks like more than a 5 point!Today was a wild day to say the least.
This morning started with that fun little bull encounter I posted pictures of above.
Mid day exploring and cold calling produced another fun encounter with a 5 point we kicked up. He heard us and didn’t smell us so we called to him with some herd talk, he calmed down, and bedded back down.
This evening was pretty cool. I found some water that I know nobody was going to because there aren’t many people hunting up here and of the few, not many who want to drop off cliffs.
After sitting down there for a while I had an awesome bear encounter.
If I remember I’ll upload the elk video and bear video another time.
All in all another fun day, just no elk big enough to shoot!
Final random fact. I waved at a guy driving by camp and smiled. On the way back he stopped in and chatted with us. After a 45 minute chat he basically told us that he’s just come out of federal prison for being deemed an eco terrorist.
Pretty interesting article written about him:
Needless to say it was an interesting day!

He’s close to what I’m going for, but wasn’t exactly there. However in the unit I normally hunt, I’d have been passing a lot lessWhat’s wrong with the bull giving you the walk away? Looks like more than a 5 point!
Come on! We are well overdue an adventure.Pretty sure I need to hunt with you just to eat your cooking.
Entertaining thus far!
It was interesting for sure. He said he was driving to new places to camp and hike. You never know who you’re going to meet in the woods. I always play calm and nice when I meet people in the woods, but have my pistol ready just in case.That article was interesting to say the least! He sounds insane. Makes you wonder what hes doing back out in the woods...
Wow, that's awesome!The draw season is here and it’s looking like incredible so far.
As of right now my September will be maxed out with 2 archery elk tags and 2 archery deer tags.
On top of that there will deer hunting in Missouri, Oklahoma, Kentucky, fishing, turkey hunting, and trapping. Add in a few other random adventures and this might be a fun season to document.

The draw season started off swell with an Archery Elk tag in Montana plus the deer tag.
I’m going with a friend who has hunted the unit a few times and has been fairly successful. I’ve never stepped foot in Montana so this should be fun.

Next New Mexico gave me a heart attack when I drew an archery elk tag and archery mule deer tag.
The elk unit is one that I hunted in 2020 and took my best bull.

The deer unit is near where I use to live when I was stationed in New Mexico and there is a decent population of deer.
Ultimately my goal for this season is to slow down and enjoy my time in the woods/mountains/outdoors.
These past few seasons my brain has been on fire and my body has been on overload from work and life stuff. So it’s time I learn to recharge better and there is no better place to do it.
Hope you enjoy.
I wish, but we are so close.I hope lack of update means your packing out a bull?
Is this a LE tag... hahaI wish, but we are so close.
I’m in absolute monsters today. Yesterday too. I’ll try to sit down at some point and write stuff down, but after going the two bulls I went after this morning… I’m on a super adrenaline rush.
Monster 5 point that broke 300” easy and then a Mack daddy bull that gave me a show like you always dream of.
Glunking, groaning, insane bugles, and just kicking his cows around like they were rag dolls. I got into 75 yards on him and had more, but a fricken rag horn was in between us and had us pegged. I could have shot him at 15 yards, but you don’t shoot smaller 6x4s when bulls of a lifetime are right behind them.
I’ll be back after them here soon!
It is, that’s the only reason I’m attempting to be picky. Really good bulls found in this unit!Is this a LE tag... haha
Wow! Your in a elk hunters dream! Go get him!I wish, but we are so close.

Theres something about a big 5...View attachment 339247
Just a little guy!
It’s been driving me loco though. I just love shooting stuff. The irony is I’ll end up shooting a rag horn here soon because he will look at me wrong.
Agreed! I’ve always dreamt of shooting a big one. Let’s see if I can turn him up again. He was an angry guy and was SCREAMING!Theres something about a big 5...
