Roosevelt Scouting Day

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

Was able to fill my tag on opening day , today It was luck more than skill , my dad and his friends got on this elk around 1pm , I was about 35 min away in a different part of our unit, i headed over to try to help relocate the elk and help search , they jumped the bull a second time above me in the timber , I was in a clear cut watching the whole hillside , it ran right out of the timber right to me , I shot him at 50 yards, feeling very blessed tonight , also getting to share this moment with my dad on my 1st Roosevelt branch bull was extra special



As he lay , u can see the big timber in the background he came out of

Very cool! What a jungle to be navigating. I have heard it might stop raining but it never stops dripping in the thick stuff. Good job.

Roosevelt Rifle Season came to an end today , a wild week of highs and lows like most hunts , and a lot of great memories, I was unsuccessful in helping dad get a bull , we got into several herds throughout the week , but couldn't turn up a 3 point or better bull for pops to get in his scope , came close but it wasn't ment to be , that was the only bummer of the week for me. One of my dads friends in our group was able to get a 4 point bull this week , we were on the other side of the mountain out of cell and radio range , so I don't have any picks from the field . It was in the truck and coming down the mountain when we came back into cell range , I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the kind words and shoutouts , made me smile throughout the week as I was out with dad trying to find him an elk . Here's the 2nd Roosevelt Bull from the past week , in the head picture , my bulls on the right

Awesome work Bud. I hunted the powers for 9 days. Saw 52 elk with 3 spikes. I just couldn't turn up a branch antlered bull. Definitely a different kind of hunting then I'm use too but now has lite a fire under my ass. I will be heading back soon but during the archery season. Congrats again and I know you worked for that one.

Ya , most of my friends hunt them with a bow also, i just got a bow last summer starting to learn, i would like to get a Roosevelt with a bow someday, working towards that. you will see bulls for sure during archery season , wish you all the best in your pursuit of a Roosevelt bull
