mattys281 Report post Posted September 24, 2016 Great bull and awesome summary of the hunt. 27 is a great unit.... and elk definitely are aholes! Lol! Did you see any bears in person while you were hunting there? I usually see one or two during the august deer hunt. Theres a couple of them over there.

cohntr6 Report post Posted September 25, 2016 redline410, I am glad you had a great hunt and am a bit jealous I am not up there this year. Thanks for posting trail camera pictures of the monster bull and congrats on the success. Feel free to put up some more pictures of that familiar country! Did you have any cameras messed with by people or just the elk? Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redline410 Report post Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks for all of the replies! Five stars- would hunt the unit again. To answer some of the questions: Up until the archery bear opener, I had a bear encounter every time out. After that, they were rather scarce. I apologize for the low quality picture- lost sight of mama bear and was gauging distance to the truck vs speed of my cousin. I no doubt would have won the foot race but, Christmas would have been awkward. Just some added scenics There is actually a bull in this pic A few more trailcam and phone pics not sure how many had seen the funny shaped star- twas a weather balloon Never did find a really big bull during the preseason other than the bull huntlines brother-in-law punched the clock on. it is a deep, dark unit- it will definitely burn calories and has places that will test your sanity and desire. I did kill my bull off of water. A couple of days were hot and the elk were mute. Besides, I was tired of having my pride stomped into the mud by attempting to outrun them up and down the mountains. What I chose as a way to rest and still act like I was hunting, turned into the most work of the entire trip. Good luck to the next round of hunters out there....
