newazhunter Report post Posted September 21, 2015 I have an early rifle tag (Sept. 25 -Oct.1) and was wondering if anyone has taken any good bulls out of the area yet. That hunt is going to be awesome. I love 5a, every elk I have ever killed was in that unit. Let me know if you need help. I sent you a PM Flatlander. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willyhunts2 Report post Posted September 21, 2015 I only know of 1 bull that's out of 5a so far. They got it done by pattering elk behind the glass and getting infrint of them. Weren't rutting at all but that was 7 days ago. Good luck on your hunts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigj23 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 I was up there last night and it took a while to find some bugles. Once we found them we had 3 bulls within about 150 yards in about 15 minutes where they hung up. It was a good 30 minutes of fury. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newazhunter Report post Posted September 22, 2015 Any 7x7's taken of the two people that responded about 5a bulls taken? I hope this monster is still up and running by Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willyhunts2 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 The one I know of would official have 7 scorable on each side but they are few inch stickers. The bull taped out at 340 so I'm guessing probably not one on your radar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newazhunter Report post Posted September 28, 2015 Fun hunt for sure. Didn't get the big boy I was looking for, but saw a couple of good 7x7 and 6x6. Was my first rut hunt, so had a blast. Had a big 7x7 in my crosshairs at 40 yards but was 20 minutes past shooting light. Settled on a little 3x3 to get meat in the freezer. Still has a little velvet on 1 side. Called him in. Sure was awesome learning about what calls worked and what calls didn't. Bummed, but it beats tag soup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted September 28, 2015 Way to fight off temptation on a possible legal light issue. If in doubt, don't send it out. Congrats on probably the best tasting elk you will ever harvest too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newazhunter Report post Posted September 28, 2015 Here's a pic of the horny little guy. Called him in with urgent estrus call. He was all in. Had a couple cows with him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
