elkoholic Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Trolling with a down-rigger on Fort Peck Reservoir in Montana might just get you an elk. Not what they were fishing for, but it made for an interesting day. It is unknown how the elk ended up on the bottom of the lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Finn Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Re: Elk Fishing Wow...what time of year would it be warm enough to go without a shirt and yet the bull has hard horns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Re: Elk Fishing The elk around here, at least the bigger, older bulls, will start rubbing as early as the second week of August. The Fish, Wildlife and Parks people think that this bull was shot early in bow season and then swam out into the lake before he succumbed to the shot. It seems that this should be obvious if the bull was examined. Since the archery season started September 2nd this year, which was Labor Day weekend, if the bull was shot opening day and "snagged" sometime in the next couple of days to a week, the temperature was in the upper 70's to low 80's. Of course, here in Montana you might find people without shirts in 40 and 50 degree weather. I am not sure of the details, but at any rate, they had an interesting day.

Dakota Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Re: Elk Fishing Well heck, I'm grabbing my rod, hopping into my suburban, and going elk fishing in Montana! That is a nice bull, though. He looks like he's anywhere from 315-350 B&C. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
