catfishing there is usually great at night anchored in pretty much any cove

If you run in to her, she'll be the one with a whole bull elk strapped to her pack jamming out to some Pat Benatar

Man, those are beautiful animals.

Verizon would be your best bet. Cell One might work better in some areas, but it is not very practical to have if you are not a resident of the areas they provide in

pick yourself up a set of the Kuiu Teton line for about the same price as scentblocker stuff. the pants are very durable and should go through catclaw and other nasty stuf just fine.

a better topic might be "what units HAVEN'T you seen elk in"

scentblocker clothing is a gimmick. buy hunting clothes for their comfort, durability and ability to keep you dry/warm/cool. up until this year, when rifle hunting, i have always hunted in a plaid pearl snap shirt and carhart canvas jeans. no animal could tell the difference in that or some fancy scentblock clothing.

it's an auction buck, so it was shot by a rifle. wonder if he'll strip the velvet and get it scored official. velvet inflates scores by a lot

any idea if that buck is gonna score typical, or nontypical? looks like almost all of the points are typical, with the exception of a couple short kickers

Cactus bucks/bulls are supposed to phenomenal table fare. Like eating a wild steer.

Nice buck and congrats. Won't even breathe on 90" though. Sorry, just being honest. 82-84" is my guess

yup, if you're not concerned about size or weight, it's REALLY hard to beat the tried and true elkhunter bag

Bears and lions are probably the most "nomadic" big game animals in our state. they travel a long ways every day. some people say the last place you saw the bear should be the last place you look for him next time

i'm beginning to think you are trolling. another random topic

i have never bought into the "expensive camo fad", or even really worn much camo, until recently. i purchased a fair amount of Kuiu Teton camo because it is priced pretty fair. i have to admit, the stuff is awesome. it keeps me warm when it's chilly out and cool when it's hot. Does not get all stretched out like cotton after wearing it for a day either. the pants are built extremely well and are very comfortable and flexible. i figure wearing the same set for 3 days is a better option than packing a fresh set of clothes every day. one good set will replace most of my other hunting clothing.

savage 111LRH 338 lapua. .4MOA with 285gn A-Max. Should do a number on a coues i would imagine. Sure hope to find out

Yeah, i kinda miss having those bulls euro'd. They are both shoulder mounted now

The "stay at home unless you uave a tag" attitude is ridiculous. From now until jan 31 there are hunts going on dang near every day in a LOT of units. If you want to go call in elk for practice, by all means do it. How are people supposed to master something they do for a week or two every 10 years? Not everyone is a guide or goes on rut hunts every year. There are things far more detrimental to a hunt than a couple guys out there calling in bulls when they don't have a tag. Unbelievable.

Not sure what you're getting at there Pard'. Even after 3 seperate threads.

Shot these bulls back to back in 2009 and 2010. Left bull is a hair over 400" and shot on the 6th day of a late bull hunt. Right bull is 374" if i remember right, shot on the 3rd day of an early archery hunt.

I take it akaSpecial Olympics did not get as many people on board with him here as he was hoping. I don't like hearing about a person wounding multiple animals in the same hunt and wish more people would consider a mortally wounded, lost animal as a punched tag but there is no law against it. Misses happen. I've been taking a friend hunting the last couple august archery deer seasons and he is a good shot and seasoned hunter. Missed 7 consecutive shots within 60 yards before he finally connected, i just laughed about it. No harm (other than mental) done. Buck fever is no joke and happens to the best of us. Once that buck fever stops, it's probably time to find a new hobby.

the closer to your face you can get it, the better they work. i use them on the summer bear hunts when gnats are unBEARable (pun not intended). i have had best luck hanging them around my neck.

Tried to send a PM

Whoa...take it easy cockeye. Take some of that aggression out on landowners, not us

I'm sure Lance's comment has to do with the fact that he can't draw a tag with 22? Points, all the while people gripe about drawing tags. I would gladly trade my 18bp for that tag, and i wouldn't have regrets.
