MT archery elk - We're baaack!

[THWAK1]

We are sleeping in the hills, right next to the elk. There are 250 of them just over the property line. If they can sleep here, so can we. We didn't come prepared for this, but fortunately I shot a blue grouse today, and that's dinner. Troy is starving and freezing. I am fat and happy.

LOL! Good luck! Enjoying the updates!

Your Crazy!!!!!!!!!! Call you survivor man or something.

That is funny right there!...Sorry Troy!

 

[JCS]

I bet you guys are starting to smell like fresh roses. I guess when you start to smell like elk you dont have to worry about the wind. Ha Ha.

this whole thread has me feeling pretty content to hunt smaller bulls in the backcountry. geesh, i dont need a big bull badly enough i guess.

Rocky the bull you shot last year is as good as 99% of anything out that way.

I can't see Troy starving to death. I predict he hoofs it back to camp for more grub. Good luck with those elk Randy. Maybe try chumming with a can of corn or something.

I just got back from 9 days chasing elk in MT last week. HOT - HOT - HOT ! Not the best week to chase the Wapati!

I will be back next month.

Have a great hunt

How many people are going next week? Myself and 3 others are going in on Saturday. I hope the FAA has a controler and tower set up.:confused.

 

[wingman2]

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! What a s*** show. Sounds like everyone will have a blast.

 

[highmountian]

Good luck fin and stick with it. You will have an easier time of it in New Mexico

 

[thecrittergitter]

Agreed!!! Wow, put on my first full day hunt yesterday, just over 16 miles. Ran into a decent bull right around 300" or so but was the only bull i saw all day....... But I didn't see or hear another hunter either.........Which is worth it to me. Gonna stick to a single bull a day i guess till a big one shows up.

No elk, but big stories. Will provide details when time and connection allow.

Breathlessly, Ron Burgandy says, "coming up later on your late news edition"......

 

[Big Fin]

Sorry my mini battery crapped the bed, or I would post the entire story of yesterday. It is one for the ages, with the highlight being the number of big bulls we didn't get a shot at, topped with Troy's dinner being hijacked by a bear, then the extreme wind that made last night off the worst I have ever spent on the mountain.

Too much to error with my little smart phone. Heading to the high ground now, in hopes some stagger will limp by. Wish Troy had let me shoot that cow the other night. Anything legal is getting an arrow tonight. Anyone know if my bear tag is good forthis area right now? Troy wants revenge

 

[Hem]

Guess you'll have to fess up exactly where you are hunting for the bear info. good luck tonight! Look out for Mr.Buzz.Damn snakes ,I've had enough of them already while fishing,hence I've been uninterested in archery antelope so far.Oh yea,the smoke and ridiculous heat has also made for a lack of interest.

Sounds like you're the only one that doesn't know.

Me too

 

[sweetnectar]

What WT IN MT said. Your good to go. Arrow a bear.

 

[Lawnboy]

Funny about the bear. I was just thinking about too. I remember wingman saying that there were a number of them in there and last year I had that bear walk right up on me while I was taking a break. That got my blood pumping at 20 yards.
Can't wait to hear the stories or better yet see some footage.
