I drew what I put in for, all archery tags. I will be hard pressed to not hunt my favorite general area again for Elk this year though. Left 5-6 really nice ones screaming after last archery season. Going to have to do a little pre season scouting this year.

My brother and I both drew 622-20 tags for this season. We've both had them before, but I'm not too sure what's left in there for really good bulls. That unit's a lot different from years ago. We'll see.

There are still some good bulls there, just gotta get off the beaten path.

We always take the horses, so we stay pretty far from the beaten path. The first tag I had in there was in 1994. I was young and dumb and walked all the way in to the tip of U.L. Bend and killed a nice 6x7 old bull. I don't really remember worrying about what I would do. Luckily there were some guys I had talked to the evening before that had horses and they heard me shoot, and actually left a horse with me to pack that bull out with! I'd still be in there eating on that old bull! Guys if you are reading this, I am forever in your debt, and have made sure to repay the gesture every chance I have had!

We hunted it in 2012 for elk and it was a stuggle, you'll see thousands sitting on blue ridge adventures land and be sad. You'll have to get off the beaten path to find them once they get pressured
