We finally put some Elk in the freezer after 3 years living up here, It's tough in the open units, still haven't drawn a limited entry. I called in both of these Elk, this was my sons 1st archery kill, my brother shot a cow. Sorry for such weak pics of the bull, forgot the camera in the field. It helps when the tags are any elk! Time to chase the bucks. Good luck down south!

Congrats! What area were you hunting? I hunted the McCall area with my dad and we couldn't locate elk for anything! We shot a young bull (large calf, thought it was a cow but come to find out it was a bull. Jenner-esque) on day one and I didn't see an elk the rest of the week.

We hunt the Pioneer zone out by Sun Valley. The biggest problem up here is the wolfs, do your home work and find out where the wolfs are and go somewhere they are not. It was also a late rut this year.

We are having the same problem in the McCall area. Wolves are getting worse. We heard maybe four bugles a day and nothing after 6am.
