Hunt in the rain
Ive had the same experience as mentioned above, ive been in thunderstorms that every time it would thunder real loud the bulls would bugle .... More important than actively hunting in the rain, i also just hole up under trees, is being there when the rain ends... you wanna be on the mountain... -
What would you do?
All you can do is grid like you did, and i'd have gotten there first thing Saturday, those ravens and crows find that carcass quick, they may have gotten on it Saturday yet even. Aint no chance im chasing a Grizz off an elk kill. Me personally if a grizz was on my kill after a couple of days... -

OTC Colorado Archery Elk opportunity
you just need to end up in public land, in an over the counter unit that is on that map someone linked up above, which out here in CO there is plenty of. Get on a dirt road, drive until you think you found a spot you wanna hike in and hunt. Find a pull off near it, sleep, get up, hike in and... -
Favorite mapping app?
Ive used "Basemap" and OnX..... pros and cons to both. OnX i think has better maps and has some nice icons to drop. I may be too dumb to figure it out, but i cant find an "arrow" icon for myself and which way im facing.... Basemap has the leg up on that..... Compass mode was the best i... -

Where is Elk Nut?

Hi im Gerbdog, and i have a raghorn problem - recap
nope, thats the arrow that piled him up. It entered just in front of his shoulder , basically if the bull was facing you, to the far right of the the grapefruit sized shot on the frontal ... it actually clipped through part of his shoulder blade which i suspect is what slowed the momentum... -

Hi im Gerbdog, and i have a raghorn problem - recap
that was my plan, but timing this year of when i killed the bull and when i need to fly across the country for a wedding kinda threw a wrench into that plan. Basically gotta fly out tomorrow for the whole dang week cause its family getting married. -

2024 Bugle Report
East Gila NM had some bugling according to step dad who was mulie hunting down there. I heard a couple bugles Monday on the opener in CO (prompted by me, i heard zero bugles from bulls just sounding off on their own). Crowded with hunters as usual .... go high and go nasty. -
