Another year in the books. The only difference being this year I had 2 tags. A buck tag and a cow elk tag. Got into camp on Thursday and got all set up. Decided to do a little deer scouting and hoping that maybe I'd see some elk while doing so. Hiked up on top of a high rim rock to get my spotting scope all set up and about half way through this process my buddy says "Hey, you have an elk tag, right?" Yep. "Well today is your lucky day" he says. About 500 yards away is a herd of elk feeding in our direction. I snuck back down the rim rock and Boom, elk tag punched. Did some more scouting the next afternoon and got into another herd of elk with one big bull, got some great pics with my phoneskope, and found a buck. Opening morning I went back to find the buck and couldn't find him. Glassed for a couple of hours and nothing. Decided to use the wind and come around to where I'd seen him the night before. Found him bedded in some thick sage/junipers and with a little whistle, he was up. Boom, deer tag punched. we hunted 4 days and none of the other guys got lucky. I guess it was my year. Now 2 weeks and we're off to New Mexico for another buck hunt.
If someone can tell me, in detail because I'm a slow learner, how to upload pictures, I will. I've got some great pictures of the bull and some of my buck.
