After 7 days of TOUGH conditions, I was finally able to shoot a bull over a wallow. Plenty of elk where we hunted, just barely anything talking at all. Sign was easy to find, but it seemed the hot weather kept us from actually seeing elk. Couple of bugles early each day, then dead all day after. Decided to find as many active wallows as possible, and sit the best ones each afternoon. After getting busted several times, we finally found the right setup. I set up on a ridge watching a mountain trail leading down and my buddy Jeff got downwind of the wallow and watched the park. Unknown to both of us, two bulls came in at the same time. I shot my bull first, while Jeff watched a 6pt working across the park. I cow called loudly after my 30 yard shot. As my bull ran off, the other bull bugled at it. We came close to scoring a double but the 6pt wouldnt commit the full distance before shooting light ran out. After a tricky tracking job, we found my weirdo 4x3. Still tastes good!! Amazingly, we were able to get the bull out in ONE trip! 1.2 mile uphill pack out. We loaded down the packs and trudged our way out!! First time ive been able to get one out in one trip! No heavy cape and head to carry really helps.
