i wish i had been able to hear the story better , too many loudmouths wouldnt shut up,,,,,, it was an awsome time and i really hope they do better on the expensive meal next year......was there a reason the desert was sitting out at 400 when the doors opened, i think thats what made me sick,, or maybe it was the raw steak, or the dried out chicken,,,,,,,,or maybe the dressing for salad.....i cant pin it down....cbryant

ya we had no luck, we spent alot of money for the elk, so it was worth it, i hope the food at your table was better than ours........

i remember when i was a young man our family went to utah deer hunting and we had a heater in the tent to keep us warm, we had the windows on the tent open but during the night it dumped alot of snow on us and the tent sealed up air tight ,,,, we are lucky i was sleeping in my clothes and started freezing because i woke up so cold they tried to light the heater but the matches would light there was no oxygen in the tent at all.....needless to say i sleep with as little clothing as possible on now and no heaters in the tent

sweet those dates should work for me thanks,,,,,,,cbryant

great pictures, welcome to the forum,

well at least you saw some big bulls and didnt have to go home empty handed

i have found that evan if elk think they see you they may stare and bark or if they hear you moving they will hang around trying to figure out what you are but when they smell you its game over and they dont stick around....

I had the pleasure of hunting with my buddy and father in-law Dean Linne this year. He drew a great tag this year and he deserved it since he hadnt been drawn since 99. Opening morning found us glassing up lots of elk and lots of bulls but nothing we felt like chasing after, that afternoon we were looking at some different elk and we found a very pretty 6x6 running cows but we felt he would only score about 330 so we just watched and enjoyed the show. the next couple days were the same we got on lots of bulls but they just werent big enough for us to pull the trigger on. Monday afternoon found us in a new area and right off the bat we heard a bugle so we went running in on him when all of a sudden we heard a sick bugle behind us, we were like that has got to be another hunter, well low and behold this guy comes up behind us and starts bugling every 3 minuets. the bull would respond but was farther away every time so me and dean looped clear around and got in front of the bull and found he was a small 6x6 so we looped back out of the area and let the other guy chase him. we decided to start heading back towards the quads when we heard another bugle in the exact opposit direction , dean looked at me and said we better hurry if we want to see him. so we took off really quick and finally got to the meadows that the bulls were going crazy in. well low and behold there was a giant bull in there all the way at the other end of the meadow real close to the tree line, we ran down the edge of the meadow just in side the trees to get with in shooting distance, at about 200 yards i look to the left and theirs are buddy heading towards the meadow, dean had already gotten about 150 yds from the bull and was moving in so i motioned towards the guys to hold up and i moved towards dean about 3 minuets later a cow that was in the middle of the meadow was hauling but towards the heard and the all spooked and ran out of the country, i look back and see the 2 guys standing in the meadow, i couldn't believe that they screwed us like that. well we looked for that bull for the next few days and couldn't find him. On Thursday night we got in some great bulls and dean felt he would love to put one on the wall. we snuck in on a great bull and dean took a shot and the bull ran off, on the film the hit looked a little high but there was blood pouring out right way so we decided to give him the night and come back in the morning to claim deans trophy, the next morning found us standing at the hit site while the sun was coming up. we followed the steady blood trail for .73 miles and started to get nervous we ended up following the blood for 1.96 miles and the last blood we found was in a bed but we couldnt find where the bull went from there. it was a miserable morning, we looked for the next 2 days all over the area and could not locate that bull dean was sick, we couldn't believe that the hit was that bad but the bull was heading uphill the last mile of his journey so we figure that it was a superficial hit and we decided to resume our hunt, on the 10th day of the hunt we decided to go high and see what kind of bulls we could locate, that morning we were accompanied by our good friend jed larson and when we got out of the truck we could hear bulls screaming about 3/4 of a mile away. jed looked at us and said "this wont take long" and we started heading in there direction, with the sun finally coming up we made the last few hundred yards and saw bulls running back and forth across the meadow, when we felt we were close enough jed made a few cow calls and we had a bull run clear across the meadow right at us and me and jed both felt he was a great bull and advised dean to take the shot, dean trusted our judgement and made a beatifull shot at 52 yards, the bull ran 40 yards and tipped over right in front of us, it was awsome. right then 2 other bulls ran the same path as the previose bull had and we watched the bugle back and forth before heading back into the trees, it was an awsome morning spent with 2 great friends and the taking of this great bull made it just a little better.

hey now,,,,,, as you can see i carry my weight everywhere,,,, mostly around my belt though how the heck have you been

my guess is a little higher than most iam saying that bull is 375+ he is a great bull that sucks he missed him,,,,,,,

thanks for the replys dean is super stoked about the bull and we still cant stop talking about the hunt
