Thanks fellas! I hope every one of you gets a tag some day, or at least gets to watch them rut. BY FAR the hardest rutting elk I have ever seen. Check out all the scars on my bull. He was particularly mean. Taking any herd or cow he wanted. In fact, not a single other bull he came across...

Quick pic. Headed back for another load.

Oh, something got the shaft alright.

Time to eat some food and start hydrating.

I probably won’t get many good ones. Stakes are too high with this low of cover on big bulls. If you like 11 pointers and a guy who thinks he is Burt Reynolds I have you covered though.

Well, I was regretting not shooting the bull. Thinking about it quite a bit. Then I got into a new herd. Had an even bigger bull pushing cows past me. He held up at 115 turned around and chased another hot cow while the other cows fed past at 60. Ahhh! Gotta love it.

Public. Bird guys are mostly gone now. Passed a nice 6x7 earlier today. May have been a “mistake” but I’m having such a great time out here. He may get it next time around.

A bit surprised, we had some dove hunters who hiked in probably a mile and started shooting quite a bit. It made the elk a bit skiddish and they moved in a no-hunt area. Others were unapproachable with a bow in the middle of flat barren ground and were not leaving the cows.

Haven’t found a bull that isn’t broken. Pretty cool. That are rutting their brains out.

I'll PM you.

Last practice before leaving tomorrow. Season opens Tuesday. Glad some cooler weather is rolling in.

Sounds like I need to do this one of these days. What were your takeaways for hunting?

Interesting. What is the pricing and time commitment like?

Strong work! A SoCal bear is no easy chore.

After 23 years of trying, I finally drew my Tule Bull Tag. Cant wait to chase rutting bulls with pops and the ol stick and string. Life's been a bit busy getting my masters and starting a family but I'll try to chronicle the story here a bit.
