Opening morning found us wishing we had elk tags. 150 elk went by at 200-400 yds with 6 bulls bugling like mad. One was real nice 340 ish a couple others around 300 ,it was a lot of fun just to watch.
Bucks on the other hand were very hard to find ,we only saw 1 in the first 6 days. He was huge but he went over a ridge and we never saw him again. We hunted hard all week up at 5 every day but after 6 days we were starting to get frustrated. The7th day we finally spotted a sm buck ,my wife made a great shot. I don't know who was more excited me or her. The next afternoon we spotted my buck over a mile away ,we almost ran down to the 4wheeler and after a short ride and a fast stalk we were 350 yards away. I missed the first shot but he gave me another chance and I didn't miss again.
