Had enough guys wanting pics and such so, I'll start it up... I've been in and out of the woods a lot since march and secured the one private place I wanted permission to hunt last year and was told NO. I gave the dude a grocery bag of elk burger and told him he could have 1/2 a bull if killed on his property. It's bordering the timber company land and has a creek on the lower end. I'm hoping the Timber lands are shut down for fire danger the first week, lol. Keep the guys out and the pressure low. Last year I would here bugles in there but, I resisted and didn't go in after them knowing I probably wouldn't get caught. It was just the principle of it.

Trail cam pics at the new place edge from just before season last year

Now ya know why it sucked not going into that timber. It's just a 200yd wide by about 1000yd long parcel

Trail cam pics of survivors from last year. Thus guy has the obvious junk on the fronts

Looks like the question is: What kind of bull are you going to hold out for?

He's #2 on my list at the moment for this area. Kept his sticker points.

Now folks know why I took pics of a 4x4 at 30yds last year instrad of sticking him. Im Big bull only in this specufic area. Other spots ill drill a 5x5 if I like him

I held out last year and had to issue myself a cow tag, lol. This year in that area, I'll hold out for at least what looks like a mature bull, don't have to be a monster.

One more for today. This is the area my son hit the bull in the shoulder in last year. Went in yesterday to hang 2 cameras

Looks like you need help thinning them. Let me know what day to show up!!
Nice pics. I sho do love bow hunting elk! Only done it once, but that’s enough to hook ya!!

👍

I genuinely look forward to you elk threads every year. Keep them coming man.

One of my cams. Elk like to mess with them so, I go higher than they can...

About 10 days ago I went to an area we hunted a few years ago and snooped around more. Found this lil elk trail and threw up a camera in there, mostly cows/calves using it right now I think.

Brand new Elite Enlist, FULL warranty $350. Price includes all fees and shipping. 28", 60-70#

A quick gear review. Just recently picked up a pair of First Lite gaitors.
First impression is a good buy. Light weight for warm weather hiking. Kept the dew outta my boots as well as all this dirt. I like'em.

Dont drag them muddy boots into the house.

Bring it on. Hoping to see some public land bulls myself this fall.

Agreed, the first lite gaiters are good. Mine are in their third season.
