It's amazing how many people know all about this hunt,but haven't actually been there.I was up there with a friend of mine on the last hunt.I sat with him the first day in a blind 15 hrs.It ends up being a endurance test like you can't believe.The second day we took a break,and looked at some other country,plus the buffalo that were in the park 1/2 mile from the fence.The 3rd day he sat another 15 hrs.The 4th day he started setting in the blind that he was in on the 3rd day,and the buffalo came to another blind,and the hunter shot a nice bull,stayed in the blind,and Russ called my buddy,got him over there,and with the help of Russes wife,and son,he killed a nice bull.Both of these hunters were non paying,as far as I know.I was setting in Russes truck,when my buddy shot his bull,and Russ was as excited,as if he had shot it.I personally asked Russ why he did what he does to help the non paying,and paying hunters.He told me that he just likes to help harvest the buffalo.This guy,along with his family helped all of us get the buffalo loaded in the trucks whole,and hauled back to camp.Another buffalo was killed that morning because of Russ,and his family.I don't know if it is true,but I heard 11 out of 12 killed their buffalo on this hunt.It's not a hunt that I would want to do until the park service let's the hunters access the park.The only reason that I am writing this is because Russ,Brian,and their family worked their tails off,for the hunters to be successful.They would stay up late to make sure the hunters were in at night,charge the batteries on the radios,and be up at 4 to do it all again.I was give out after 4 days,I can't imagine how Russ feels after months of this.From what I have seen,Russ and company are stand up people trying to do the best that they can whether they get paid or not.

Your awesome TJ,always trying to help out.

Unreal,it's neat that they used a Mcmillan rifle.It makes Kelly proud.

Great story,thanks for taking the time to post it,and the pics.

Took the time to submit it to the park service,it may not help,but who knows?

Coming from a guy with a purple heart from Viet Nam,-Well said!!!!

If you still have this scope, I will take it.

Awesome video,Congrats on being one of the finest outfitters in the west,I have only heard good things about you.

Sold pending funds

Great video,Thanks again for putting it together.Don't sell your equipment,if anything I think we should buy you a new computer!! Haha

Wannakillabigbull,You're doing it right by being excited for having the tag.I have hunted 7W my whole life having killed my first bull there in 1967,The road from Parks north through Spring Valley all the way to 180 pretty much splits the unit in two.There will be elk on either side,East-West of this road all the way from I-40 to the 180.The elk will be in pockets from now until the season as they don't migrate much as your used to in Colorado.Kendrick,Sitgraves Mtn.Red Hill are areas that you should become familiar with.Take your optics and you will find the elk

Very nice

You will be fine

Great gun,if I didn't have one I would buy it!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to show us what we are missing.It seems like I get so busy chasing pigs that I don't get out and look at many deer after Dec 31.Thank you again

Nice pics,congrats!!!

I just got a Bowtech Prodigy in yesterdays mail that I paid 600 for and the list was 1100 last year.This was with a rest from Archerytalk

Very nice,awesome buck especially with a bow

I killed a bull about 10 years ago on that hunt.At that time there was a core area that you were not allowed to access, no one.Then there was a buffer area,between the core,and the state land,this is where you could hunt.This was all torn up with rubs, trails,and elk signThe elk definatly know where you can go,and can't.They will head into the core and drive you crazy,wanting them to come out.That said I killed a small 6point that I called out on the southwest side.I know this is somewhat dated info,but I haven't applied for it again.Enjoy your hunt

I have a Mathews Drenalin,60-70#,29" draw,HHA movable pin sight,ready to shoot,only needs a quiver.I put a winners choice string and cables on it about a year ago,but haven't shot it much since then,as it was my backup bow.$400.00

Like the title says Swarovski 15x56 non HD that are perfect,no scratches anywhere,no rubs,used very little.Comes with Outdoorsman stud,eyecups,and soft case.$1550.00

I can't remember exactly when I got them,but it was 2006-2007.I would take $1450.00 for them.

I think that I would call Game and Fish rather than go on a forum to ask a question that might get you a ticket.

10 animals in 2 days by yourself is awesome.My hat is off to you.

If your a member Sportsman Guide has DPMS Panthers for less than 500.00.I've got one and it shoots good.
