Hunted the Panhandle again this year. Worst year we have ever had. Have hunted this zone for last 10 yrs. Not only has there been population increase but total mismanagement of the elk herd. Saw very few elk and little bugling
Years ago I took my buddies kids and dog duck hunting. Dog went after a down bird other hunters shot. They threatened to shoot the dog. I informed them they would never leave the marsh if they did. Those kids are now grown but often remind me of this day.
