Hand Me Down Elk Spot

[Gumbo]

So many things I want to say.....but I will leave it at that.

If small bulls are around cows are around and so where there are cows you will get the big bulls

Real a#$hole move posting something like that in a trophy unit someone could not check the regs and go in there and get in trouble that tag only takes about 20 preference points as a resident

I 100% agree but still why do that he obviously hasn't hunted it

Not to mention the fact, if someone posted a map with an X marking a "hunting spot" on the internet, you'd have to be a real dolt to think something wasn't fishy.

why is that obvious I haven't hunted it? Can shoot a spike or a cow on a general tag.

So it would be a real a#$hole move to post a spot in the middle of Yellowstone Park as well? At some point people these days need to start taking responsibility for themselves and their OWN actions and not blaming someone else for their stupidity.

I think someone was just making a joke posting the x in the middle of 380.

 

[Boomer51]

That was my take too, when I saw it.

^^^^^ this, I got a laugh out of it, if someone shows up there without a proper license, then I pray they get caught

Might have resolved this with a trade. Another Rocslider has an Idaho hotspot and I could use a backup plan for over there and he could use a good starting spot in Montana. Who knows...he might produced the herd bull in my area that I havnt been able to get.

 

[JP100]

So far the area hasn't produced a big bull sighting...just a few beginners bulls. Better than not seeing anything... good spot to get your feet wet

I'm wanting to at least see an occasional monster.

So it's not a hot spot? I hunted a guys 'hot spot' last year and there was like 50 other hunters there. Not many secrets spots in the world

During the week there I pretty much have the place to myself. Herd bull was right on top of the hill bulging his head off as I was breaking my bull down this past September... I just didn't see him. Say a track 8 inches across there 3 years ago. Had to be a monster. It has produced 100% success for me. Average getting a shot every 6 5 days. Not bad for otc

Better than the spot I went to then. We saw some nice Bulls for otc but was very high pressure. I can't complain I had my chances

Leave it up to the next guy to figure out.

There's something inside me that has a hard time giving away my little secrets, even on my spots for our white tail drives. I feel like there is much more to be had by figuring it out by yourself vs just being told how to do it.
Don't rob somebody of that feeling.

Just my 2 cents...

TBM,
If memory serves me correct you had some very nice people on another site put you on that area a couple years ago. They just about put a pin on the place to go and told you spots to camp.
They went above and beyond in helping you and got no thanks from you at all just you telling them you could have done it anyway.
You are just a real classy guy aren't you.

An 8 inch wide elk track?

Jeez, how big are the fish you catch?

 

[TurkeyBowMaster]

There were shiny clump droppings the size of a coffee cup too Bitterroot...I backed out thinking it was a moose. Dpat that is not correct. They didn't want to believe I didn't have help, but I located this spot in my own. Someone wanted to help but without GPS coordinates didn't mean anything.

You have to realize that most didn't believe I could just drive out there, stop somewhere, locate elk and kill one..Some still don't believe. Found a spot in Idaho the same way. I say this to encourage others.
