Being part of the hunt!!!

Recommended Posts

Well I was one of those lucky guys that didnt get an elk tag again this year! But I still wanted to be part of the hunt. So Friday evening I picked up my son from school and we headed out to our old family camp and met up with a couple of my cousins. Saturday morning we’re up at 4am and go this bowl we call elk city. Name says it all. Well at sun rise I start to bugle to see if we could locate some bulls and we immediately hear a few respond but far away. The bulls were on but not committed. So we decide to hit a water hole about ½ mile away. As we approach the water hole we hear a bugle so I respond back with a bugle and a few cow calls. My cousin stays in place and I head back about 40 yards. I start cow calling and this bull responded back every time and is coming in. A few more cow calls and he’s rushing in!!! The bull pass by at 5 yards in front of my cousin and he lets it rip. Solid hit. The bull runs about 100 yards and expired. You know the rest of the story, the fun starts!!!! Packing it out!!!! Lol

 

I was so glad to be part of this hunt. Doing the calling and helping pack this animal out made me fill as if I had filled my own tag. Beside there's no other place I rather be than in God's beautiful country...

Looks like you guys did good! Congratulations to your cousin on a very nice bull! No better reminder of God's magnificence than to be in the woods during the elk rut! Thanks for sharing.
