Continuing this on from the moose thread…. Abbreviated version. So the moose hunt ate up a good amount of time from this tag, which I originally planned to bowhunt more than anything. I only had a few days to bowhunt, but had some incredible opportunities and passed a few bulls bigger than I had ever shot personally, holding out for a giant. I figured I was seeing plenty of good bulls, I could be picky and return with a rifle and probably kill a good bull.
By the time the rifle hunt rolled around, the weather was unseasonably warm, very windy and the elk were no where to be found. I gave it a few long weekends, passed some decent bulls in hopes of killing an above average bull. Saw a couple busted up big bulls that I eventually passed. Having a freezer full of moose meat helped to stick with the plan. The last day that I could hunt I decided to go into a real
hole I had been seeing bulls to see if I could turn a good one up. Passed a couple broken bulls, coming down the mountain I turned up a perfectly intact 310-315 bull, tempting, but decided I'd rather eat the tag with a freezer full of meat. So no elk for me… Time to head home. Incredible hunt, tough conditions, some great bulls. Tag soup…
