7 days in and 10 bulls inside of 30 yds and 3 inside of 20 yds, but the broadside gods are against me....have had some unreal bugling action the last 4 days culminating in a stud 6x8 inside of 25 yds between me and my partner but in these jungles just no shot angle...5 days left later this week. Some stud bull left these rubs
Hit the scales at a whopping 156 today with two months of elk hunting to go...final tallly for North Idaho elk Ross 0 Bull elk under 30 yds 13.......a bakers dozen.......11 days afield 9 days had great bugling action just never a good presentation or clear of brush.....on to season number 2 on 10/10 with a rifle for Tag 2 of Idaho, then back into North Idaho on tag 1 for 5 days on 10/25, and Montana will have to wait until the snow flies....the only racks coming home were these sheds........still plenty of time to fill all 3 tags and many days afield with plenty of ice bags on the knees. 
Tag 1 season 1 just a much tighter belt and pants that dont want to stay up
Definitely time to bulk back up in the gym and enjoy some less active whitetail hunting here in the flatlands before I begin training hard again for next year. Thanks for sharing your experience and good luck on the remainder of your season!
