this morning was fun: Hiked river and jumped into the edge of a small field to get across to the timber into the clearcut the 4 bulls were in yesterday. Told my son, "be cool if the elk were here" oops, shouldn't have said that two young 4x's starring at us... They leave we call - nothing
Hiked to the clearcut, I said "see those 2 dead trees, the elk pass through right there", he said there's 2 bulls lol. Same 2 from the bottom, NO PLAY
Easing up the old road noise free to get up high and glass now. Getting some altitude and we hear a deer bouncing down the hill. Hunter said "its a buck", I instantly raise my binos and he says 'Oh chit" and ducks, I duck! Really nice 5x5 down below. I ranged at 63yds but, the deer bouncing off put him on alert. Basically we never shot.

A bit later we ease up the road through the reprod and spot a big spike walking ahead of us. I told Hunter there's more elk, no way a spike solo. He heard a faint bugle as well. We eased up to where the bull cut off the road and listened, nothing. I let out a cow call and a chuckle and got a cow call back. Cow called again and did a locator bugle and we get a bugle back. Game on!!! We went back and forth a bit, I retreated down a skid road, bugled and started tearing up some alders. I'm doing my part reading Hunters posture and actions. I see him ranging and trying to draw. Nothing. I then see him get up and walk 3-4 steps and get low again and I start raising cain to get the bulls attention. Hunter drew but didn't shoot. When it was all over we walked to where the SAME 5x5 as earlier had stopped in the road. He had spotted Hunter and was unsure and walked away. Hunter said "check this out" pointing out water drops all in the road, I said he pissing himself? He said no, he was slobbering and he could see it from 60yds. CRAZY, too bad I couldn't see the cool stuff. Fun morning for sure.
So far 8 bulls, zero cows seen the last 2 days
