azdonw Report post Posted October 5, 2016 Went up Saturday about noon and returned this afternoon. The bulls were bugling like crazy until that rain storm came and they were pretty quiet the next day. But the following day, they were at it again. A herd was so close behind my camp that I could hear cow calls. While out hiking around, not seeing turkey at all, we ran into a couple of elk herds. One had a bull that started bugling after we jumped them. The other had 6 cows that I walked up on 35 yards away. I froze but couldn't believe they stood there for a minute or so staring in my direction as I felt wind hitting the back of my neck. They finally busted in two directions. As I walked on, I heard one of them give a belated bark. Oh, one bad thing. We found a dead bull in the bottom of a creek canyon that was likely a few weeks old. No arrows found or any indication of death, as the carcass had been eaten pretty well by a bear and other scavengers. Didn't see a turkey one...sure wished I had an elk tag instead! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
