sureshot Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 2 more weeks from tomorrow is my second ever elk hunt, first one was a bust, I was drawn close to home and the elk were all in a huge game preserve not coming out, I hunted hard for a week and never had a cow in range[cow elk tag] this time is in same zone but the game preserve is no longer a game preserve and the thousand or so elk are scattered all over the country by the natve hunting the past 2 years, they took alot but scattered a lot to, I talked to a ranche 50 miles away an d he said he has seen a few in his pasture, yesterdaythe first draw we checked a bull was standing below me at 45 yards then the bush came alive, elk ran out the far side for at least 5 minutes strait, I counted 60 and lost track, 13 bulls and rest the cows and calves I am after, the were all 160- yards away and I had the muzzle loader for whitetail but no ML season for elk for some reason, I asked permission to all the nieghbors land and got on all exept for one small chunk right next to were they were,I also forgot to tell everyone I seen the elk lol!!I figure if they do not know if someone calls for permission they can not say they seen them all!!I am more exited over this elk hunt than if I was hunting a monster deer even though its a cow, all I can see is 400 pounds of elk in the freezer lol!!!!!!!!!!!
