Well, it got better but that day was a phenom. We got on bulls each day but no love for calls, just letting us know they were there at the bottom of the canyon or moving fast in the AM. Only found one herd with active satellites, which was the day it turned on. Rain on Monday did not help any. I have been out in the woods in rut every year since 2012 and this was by far the slowest rut I have seen. After trying to sneak in on a few bulls yesterday, my son was getting stressed about school and took a smaller bull. He is a great shot and shot a bull with two cows at 75 yards. The bull went about 100yards from the shot. On such a tough hunt I told him not to be upset with the size, be thankful for the opportunity. Two archery bulls by 16 years old, proud of him. Now he will focus on his 12AW late tag and then my other son’s late 23 tag. Still got a lot of memories to make this season!

Like a light switch today. Bugles all day, chasing them in the morning and could hear bugles from the wallow all day. Nice they are gong in their own with a few days left.

I am in the elk woods every year and have been successful either hunting or helping in 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. This is the slowest rut O have ever hunted. Over half the days no bugles and others very limited and far. Had one close encounter with some back and forth. Areas that are historically very active are near silent. your days left for my son, hopefully he gets a shot.

Bump, a great pack and bino harness. Prices are OBO. -
The bulls are looking great. Been out quite a bit. I am more than happy my son has the late bull tag this year. Headed out again next weekend and will be there for deer as well.

If you are planning on 21 it will be hot and watch for snakes. There are opportunities there, but it will require some work and early mornings to get the some of the better spots. You will also need to know what spots have water, so it will be some scouting or just some luck if you roll up.

I just bought mine from Erick Anderson on Facebook. It is the size and description you listed, hook shackles, and it towed great last weekend. It was $3475 OTD.

Eberlestock Team Elk Pack - This pack has been great and I used it in a lot of hunts. It has a built in scabbard that is great to carry a rifle, or a tripod and chair when bow hunting. All of the zippers work and the buckles are all in good shape. The built in meat chela that is framed makes it easy to pack animals out with gear. $150 OBO Badlands Bino XR - This pack is pretty much new, I think I used it one time. It works great with enclosed bino and rangefinder pouches that are magnetic, plus other zippered storage pockets. This is a perfect harness for the late hunts to keep gear safe. $100 OBO

I have one I am selling. It is a 6x12 with a gate. Wood was replaced a few years ago and upgraded to 2 inch. Has a spare on the front. I am located in Litchfield Park. Send me a message if you are interested.

Late 12AW for my son, what luck. Going to be a crazy fall.

We were there as well for the tournament but caught most on action baits.
