The hunt was over today we would have sat water in the evening but he had a college exam in the evening. What happened just happened its public land we just ran into an unethical hunter at the wrong time.

Just joking but he does shoot a bowtech

Yes it does. Grinding it out since the opener with nocturnal elk and a bad rut and on the last day its probably gonna work out and that happens. By the way my son is part of the bowtech crew 😆 and he has a dodge.

Well got on a really big bull this morning. Dropped my son off at 4am and hiked back in to where we knew they went everyday. Im back glassing from far away and it barely gets to where I can see and there they are. Then a guy in a grey dodge pulls up behind me and I wave him off. He stops and glasses the elk. Then he pulls up and says to me thats a giant and I said yes he is and my son is set up on him back there. He say ok and I continue to glass and he drives off. Then the elk spook 15 minutes later so im waiting for my son. And he comes out and says the elk were 120yd walking right to me and I was gonna have a good shot at the big bull and then o heard someone cow calling and they spooked. That guy drove 200. Yds from the elk in his truck and cow called and blew them out. My son was furious. I went and told him how I felt about it considering I told him my son was in there. He said nothing back to me. That was ridiculous!

5bsouth is my favorite unit but we like 7west as well my son drew the tag. We are seeing elk but it just hasn't worked out. Im sure there are pockets that they are talking better than others but we haven't found that yet. Congratulations on filling your tag!

7west is the worst I've ever seen it and I know the whole unit very well. We have people in all different parts of the unit and once and a while in the dark before sunrise you might hear 1 or 2 bugle and then its complete silence. Other units may be a little better but not 7west.

Crazy cuz 7west is dead. We hear 1 or 2 bugles before the sun comes up then silence. We have seen some good bulls though and they have all had cows a couple of them had 30 cows. Sitting water in the evenings and nothing. All of our cameras have bulls on them hitting water at 1 to 3am. We have gotten close spot and stalk hopefully one of our stalks works out or things get better as far as the rut goes. Good luck everyone!

7west is still dead. Chased a 320 class bull this morning with his cows and he barely bugled other than that its silent. Saw cows alone also. My buddy in unit 9 said its a bugle fest there. Don't see it cooling down or any rain in the forecast so we will see what happens

Had like a 370 bull come down the draw tonight with 6 cows. They circled the tank like 3 times and never came closer than 100yds. Heartbreaking. Also he was just beating those cows up with his antlers. Good sign it should be starting soon in 7west.

2 rahgorns my son passed up in 7west today and not 1 bugle for us. We have the whole hunt off so hopefully it kicks in at some point.

Sweet bull! Dropped my boy off at water in 7west at 4am. Im up on a hill glassing haven't heard 1 bugle yet.

Happened to my cousins gmc. It doesn't take much run time with no oil to do bad things. It may not have blown your motor, but it put a lot more wear internally than you think. They ended up paying to put a new engine in my cousins truck. My father who is A 40 year ase certified mechanic. He contacted them for my cousin and had a talk with them and no questions asked. New motor put in free of charge. You may not get that deal without a fight though

Quiet in 7west. We have seen lots of elk. All our cameras have bachelor herds of raghorns. All after dark. Lots of cows and calfs on our cameras during daylight hours though. Looks like spot n stalk or water until it kicks in. My buddy is in unit 10 also. He heard 1 bugle since yesterday. Hopefully it kicks in or it will be tough.

Lucky dog! How many points did you have?

My son has 7west. We have scouted a lot and are seeing elk. I think with this heat its going to be slow the 1st week unless they just decide to start rutting soon. The 5bsouth hunt should be awesome with the dates. I think we wil be spot n stalk or water the 1st week cause I don't think we will hear many bugles unless the weather changes drastically but we have the whole hunt off so it should be fun!

Stud of a buck! Congratulations! Hard work pays off.

Thanks! I think you said earlier in this post you wanted a chocolate. If you get one you won't regret it!

Oh. And they love Cabelas too!

So tough. Ive had chocolates my whole life. Last one was 12 lost him to cancer. I cried like a baby. We have a male and female now. Both are awesome. Love people and kids. The are bird hunting machines and love camping and hunting and fishing trips with us.

Sweet buck!!

Nice bull!

They are very clean. I have a pair as well and your probably only gonna get about $1200- 1300 out of them.

I've done hundreds of euros. Dead heads are hard to get looking really good that one was in horrible shape with bleached antlers. I have many pics I could post, but I think the Draysen does an excellent job. Take it t o him you will not be disappointed. But if any west sides ever need a euro feel free to pm me.

I would do it for you but I'm in north peoria.

Also if you cleaned the throttle body sometimes the computer needs to do a relearn. That will also cause an erratic idle.
