DUG

Wind was howling where I was at. I saw 3 WT does and no pigs. Again, I suck at glassing. I'm pretty sure there were some out there.

I may hit the flats near Flo Jct. on my way back to the freeway. Good luck!

I know nothing about traps. Do you lure them in with scent? His paws are bigger than my lab's paws.....

How did you get him to stay still holding his legs like that? Oh wait...Ok I got it..... Nice cat! Weight?

The new Redfields would look good. Made by Leupold.

Good shooting! Congrats!

Nice ! Congrats!

Saw 3 Coues does and no pigs. Snow was melting right before our eyes. We did see a huge bouquet of balloons way up on a hill......

Nice job! We hunted the snow and saw none!

Great job as usual Phil! Congrats to all!!!!!

Good job dude!!!!!!

Looking for any rifles or pistols for trade plus cash on my end?

Nice! Congrats!!!!! I always say any elk is a good elk!

Nice! Use them for a couple years then upgrade again.

Wow! That's beautiful!

Just texted one of my buddies who is a higher up at G&F and told him what I did. He finally texted me back when he got done cleaning the toilets and dumping garbage in the offices. He told me I did get a leftover tag after all.

Did you play the wind right? If you are seeing them running ahead of you either you are working too fast or the wind changed and they smelled you. Sounds like you still had fun hunting! Over in 7W on the last day of the bull hunt the elk were feeding back to their bedding area in the rain. They bedded down about 10 A.M.

I helped Lukeduke on his late rifle bull hunt in 7W. We hunted hard Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I estimated I walked 8 miles on Saturday just trying to find sign. I had to go back to work for Monday and Luke stayed up there to hunt the morning and then he had to be back for work and school on Tues. and Wed. The 1st 3 days were warm and windy. No elk were found on Friday. Saturday I glassed up 2 cows and Luke found 6 cows. Sunday was a bust too. Fellow CWT member Lance had helped his girl get a nice bull and he gave Luke a couple spots to try. Thanks for that Lance! Luke and I went back up on Thursday, the last day of the hunt. I had a good feeling that we would finally see elk in the same areas we hunted at the start of the season. It rained all the way up to our area. The cattle in the area were up and feeding so I figured the elk would be too. We saw elk right away but no bulls. We finally got up to a nice hill and right away I glassed up 2 elk feeding at the bottom of the hill about 500 yards below us. One was a bull so Luke decided that he wanted to try for that one. We started our sneak downhill and stayed to the right of them. We had lost sight of them but knew they would still be there. I finally was able to glass the bull in his bed. He never saw us while we were figuring out how to get in position for the shot. Luke finally squirmed into place and shot this bull prone at 200 yards with his Savage .300 Win. Mag. I am so proud of how far he has come as a hunter. I didn't even have to gut this one! (well a little).

Stupid me mailed it to the po box on the envelope. On the leftover list it showed to mail it to the G&F on Carefree HWY. Oh well........

I was down 39 lbs. at my weigh in and came in 3rd in the challenge. It was nice elk hunting this year without feeling bogged down. I hiked some good hills and put some miles on. It's hard not to overeat at X-mas.

Nice!

Nice! Congrats!!!
