I’ve been drawing these late archery bull tags now and then for a while. I’m just tired of wearing myself out. I’m strongly considering just putting in for rifle hunts. It would be nice to just hear bang, then flop for a change. Well, my oldest son and I both drew this year. I wound up letting him do most of the stalking. We would glass in the morning, and try to get on them. We located some of the biggest bulls I’ve ever seen. Most of them were located in completely unstalkable locations. I thought my son was gonna seal the deal a few times, but he always got discovered at the last second right before a shot opportunity. He never did connect, but time spent with my son can’t be replaced. On our way home from work, my wife saw a bull she thought I could get to. She’s be praying that God would give me a nice bull on this hunt. I’d seen a few bulls on my commute, including some real studs, but never had time to go after them on days I had to work. But the hunt was drawing to a close, and this bull was low hanging fruit. Even after a terrible shot, I got it done. My wife’s prayers were answered! Also, my youngest son filled his first youth tag and got an elk. IMG_3284.mov

I’m just over here getting trolled like a fish, lol

Haha. Banter aside, I do wish you would get on board with us, for the sake of hunting in general. IMO, it’s kind of an all or none battle. I don’t personally hound hunt, nor do I have hounds. I have never taken an animal with dogs. My son does… I do think it’s a battle we need to stick together on. im not sure if you legit hunt or not, or if you’re just troll. But if you do hunt, I want you to continue that tradition. Trapping was the first domino, hounds, bears and lions will be next. Then we’ll have nothing left but soy lattes!😜

Careful not to over indulge, you still want that fine figure so you can squeeze into those skinny jeans.

I hear you.

He admits he is an animal right activist who wants to end all hunting. Don’t forget that.

Ok, so is it harassment when coyotes and wolves run animals to death and the eat them, or just kill for sport? Hound hunting is an historically and anthropologically correct activity . Hound hunting is good for all hunting. On the sow note, boars kill cubs. When you tree a bear, you can make certain you are killing a boar, thus preserving cubs to adulthood. what’s more, once an animal is treed, and hear/sees a person with those hounds, that bear/lion will not attack a human.

Yeah, and you think they will just stop with hound hunting. They want it all gone. You are with us, or you are with them. There is no middle ground. sounds like you are the enemy.

…and this…

you soy boys need to watch this.

It’s the fairest chase of all. 95% of the time the critter gets away. And the other 5%, you can make sure it’s a mature animal before you squeeze the trigger.

Hound hunting allows for careful selection to determine absolute maturity and sex of an animal before you harvest it. The guide my son works for a treed 24 lions last year, and they only killed two. And one of those was a depredation hunt for Game And Fish. There is no other way to harvest with such accuracy. And it’s one of the toughest ways to hunt there is.

You are a complete joke. You couldn’t catch a lion in a zoo. You have no idea how difficult hound hunting is. It takes years to train a successful dog. Most hunts are failures, and are extremely difficult.

I also found this G5 Montec buried in his backstraps. This was an old warrior bull on his last legs. I don't know why the pics won't load...hopefully they show. 3C3574CB-5614-4913-93FD-671145153DE3_1_201_a.heic 2BA126F5-EB7F-4F70-AFB0-7038CE27FD26.heic

Why? elk don’t seem to be affected by dogs on a trail. I know the noise is unnerving, but they usually don’t blow out.

We had late archery tag. Saw lots of bulls, tough to connect.

Congrats. I thought those pics were from 14a, for sure.

We will be all over this.

I’ll be there, at some point. Got 2 youth elk tags.

Jdm is the way to go. I’ve done it….don’t regret it.

I moved to my hunt unit so I don’t have to camp. I hate camping.

My neighbor killed a 3a buck that he claims is 230 a dozen years ago. I’ve seen the buck, I’m not sure it’s 230 but it might be. It’s super trashy. Probably has 20 scorable points. I could not draw the late hunt for 3a3c with my 15 points.

Fight the fight.
