Deer season is done, and I am now approaching my first set of days off with rifle elk season open for elk. There should be decent cell service to try a live hunt, so we will see how it goes.
I located some very good bulls, 3 of which I would pull the trigger on in a heartbeat. I also have two cow tags in my pocket for two separate areas. My plan is to concentrate on a bull this first set of days, and keep working on the cows if I am successful this weekend.
I am not sure where I am going to camp yet, as the area that the bulls were living in may not be the greatest option to camp right on top of them. I have a couple of legitimate options for glassing that I plan on working pretty hard and really expect to be able to find one of the bigger guys that was living in the area. Putting him down will be the hard part.
The elk tend to stay in the same vicinity here after the rut, even though I expect some of the bulls have moved. Research has been done on where they go to recover after they get done screaming and everything they like is here.
Elk meat is a staple of the sreekers household and if I butcher the meat myself we save a lot not buying beef. So three elk in the freezer is the goal, I have pulled off two in one season before, this will be a new record if I can pull off the third.
From the top of the mountain every morning I should be able to pull off updates, but this hunt will only be live during the weekends, and broken up into several sections. Pictures may be off and on and I haven't bought Tapatalk yet, so if someone wants to post up pics I can text or email them out. Any volunteers, message me.
The hunt starts this evening!
