270wsm

118”

It all started a few years back when both my boys drew this same tag. My older boy James tagged out at first light opening day, leaving us with the rest of the hunt to focus on getting Darren on one. Well he had several opportunities but just couldn’t close the deal. Fast forward to this year Darren wanted redemption, unlike the previous tag this hunt started out slow. It was hard to locate elk with crummy weather ,so we called on our “ace in the hole” Nate who was a huge help before , and he came through for us again locating a small herd. We got to within 350yds and Darren let the 270wsm bark, we hear the “thwack” and knew right away it was a hit. The cow drops and we think she is done, but then she stands back up and we see that the shot was in the front shoulder but a little to far forward. We decide to back out and spent the entire next day tracking her with no luck other than finding the blood trail and where she bed the night before, we tracked her into a huge canyon for about 1 1/2 miles from where she was bedded. Two days later we got into another herd with the bulls having a screaming contest. And we were able to get 120yds from one of the cows Darren let her have it and she didn’t make it 50yds and crashed! Check out the video I made of the hunt. I just started uploading to this channel, hopefully there’s more to come.

Video was awesome Jerry! I highly recommend subscribing to Jerry’s channel he has some really good videos posted

Yeah hopefully he’ll have his left handed rifle by next season

Awesome job Brandon congrats to you and your kids

First of thanks to Nathan for all of his help and to those here who offered up some advice. We had an awesome time on this hunt even though James tagged out in the first 20 minutes of light on opening morning my younger son Darren also had a tag and missed a few shots he had a blast hearing all the bugles and seeing a lot of elk. I put together a video of the hunt unfortunately I couldn’t get the shot.

Thanks wildwoody I’ll be headed back up in about 6 days I will definitely check that out thank you

So my two boys drew junior elk cow tags in unit 3a/3c this is the first time I’ve ever set foot in this unit. I have been scouting the unit a few times since we found out they were drawn and have pretty much gotten skunked except for seeing a lot of sign in one area to catching a glimpse of what looked like an elk running into to pines . If anyone has any info that would help me out I’d greatly appreciate it, feel free to pm me thanks .
