Thought I had him. 1 bugle 5 am. Got on it. Found the herd and came up with a plan with the wind. Was about 30 elk. Decent bull maybe 300. I will take all day. Had to back out and get in front of him. Plan works. Herd is about 150 yds away coming right at me. All I needed was to get one more tree ahead. I get to the tree and fuk!!!!!! A cow was bedded 30 yds ahead and jumped up. Alerted the herd and that was a wrap. Found a few smaller bulls later in day. Not ready for those yet. Here was the bull IMG_2842.mov

Well guys no stalks tonight. Glassed up a few herds far but just couldn’t tell the size of the bulls. About 50 elk tonight and a giant herd in the neighborhoods. One thing about city hunts is a lot of locals protect there elk. Back at it in the am.

IMG_3845.mov Well guys eventful morning but no success. Out at 4 am and saw some herds and no bugles at all. We r lucky the first week so not chasing ghosts. 1st heard about 50 elk and 2 small bulls. Next heard had 1 small 4x4 and rest cows. We decided to get high before light and finish some coffee. Right at first light glass up a small herd but with the fog just couldn’t see a bull. Kept glassin. Right below us about mile out find a bull sniffing the air. About 30 min later my son glasses up a herd and boom there he is. A decent shooter. Go time. And guys I am not a trophy hunter at all. Ask many guys on here. But 1st week I want to try on something decent. Get in truck and head over there. I have a general idea where they r. Will I just missed them. I really needed another person on hill guiding me in and could have had a chance. Well I start hearing a bugle and I head that way. Well there was a hunter carrying a foxpro in his hand and just letting bugles rip. Scared my bull right out of there. Here he is slipping away. Breakfast time.

Went out twice and had a great season. Lots of people hate dove but I love them. Had a bbq with some people and it was a hit. For those of u asking here’s what I did. clean them well. Then soak them in a bowl of buttermilk over night. Next day rinse them off I let them dry and add the seasoning u like. This time did mccormicks. next step was I went to food city and bought a cooked bag of green chiles. They have them whole cooked so just cut in strips next I like to add a strip of bacon. Nothing thick. Dove cooks quick so u don’t want it overdone I then threw it on traeger or u can do oven at 350 until bacon was barely cooked. They were a big hit again. Hope this helps some of u.

Congrats. Cool bull
