    Cut the cord years ago and just had over the air for local and Netflix (also had Amazon prime, but used mostly for free shipping). Last year, added Sling during the college football season to get the SEC channel. On Dec. 1, DirecTV Now streaming was launched. Signed up for it at $35/month for 100 channels (regularly $70/mo). Don't know if the $35 initial sign-up is still active or not. Downside is it isn't available through Roku (should be early next year) and doesn't have DVR. We've never used DVR so not an issue for us. Pre-paid the first month and got an Amazon Firestick at no charge. All seems to work well, at least for the first week so far.

    Harvested my first elk in 10 years (I'm not a very good hunter)! We were about 5 minutes late to where we wanted to hunt opening morning and the guys that beat us there harvested three shortly after shooting light. Later that morning I trailed a cow 5-10 yards inside the National Park hoping she would jump the fence, but no such luck. My son came up to join us for the next day and a half and we saw nothing until late Saturday. We saw a bull and followed him hoping we'd find cows, but no such luck. We did see lots of tracks and followed some that looked fresh. We jumped a cow in the thick brush and she was gone before I could get a shot off. We then jumped a spike. We followed for a while trying to stay down wind, but never found them.

     

    Sunday morning we found a small bull and decided to follow him. Shortly thereafter I saw a cow with him. We heard two separate bulls bugling and figured one was the one we originally saw. We circled around staying down wind and spotted the cow and a bigger bull about 100 yards upon a small ridge. They were in between trees, so we moved closer to about 80 yards. The cow moved into a small opening and I shot. Several cows moved around, but they stayed in the same general area. The first cow then turned and walked back into the opening, but I didn't have a shot with all of the brush and branches. I was able to squat down and get a second shot off between branches and this one hit the mark. She went about 10 yards and expired.

    Don't know much about the late archery bull hunt specifically, but just finished a successful unit 9 early cow hunt. Saw both bulls and cows every day. Saw a couple of nice bulls Saturday and Sunday that were still with the cows, also heard a little bugling. All of the bulls we saw were in the thick cover. We've hunted both east and west side of the unit and prefer the west in general because there seems to be less people there. Good Luck on your hunt.
