Any of the guys with a Beaverhead tag seeing any good bulls?

I have hunted for 6 days. Lots and lots and lots of deer. All of the does have 2 fawns, that's a good sign for the future of deer hunting the area. Back to your question. I saw a spike with 1 antler that pointed up and 1 down in Kitty spring, no cows. I saw a radio collared cow in Buckhorn. I saw 3-6 points and a 3 point drop into buckhorn one evening but they were gone by morning, no cows. I saw 4 bulls between Indian creek and Teepee draw (middle creek) but they were all 5 points or smaller, no cows. I saw, and sat on for 2 days, 10 cows with a 4x4 satellite bull and a very good herd bull, 6 x 7 that made my heart race. He was able to stay 12 hours ahead of me for 2 days then I lost him. PM for location I last saw him. Bugling was non existent-I did not hear even 1.

I saw those same bulls in Teepee, but never saw any great bulls in the 7 days I have hunted. Of coarse 2 of those days the visibility was poor. There were elk bugling in East Indian creek on the 14th and 15th.

Just wondering if you found the type of bull you were looking for, been hoping to see a picture all month.

I found a couple, but did not get one. I found a great bull the second day up Meyers, and was working up the bottom when Heart Mt. Outfitters came from the backside over the top and his client shot one of the Askari bulls that was with the big one. I was about 300 yards away in the burn at the point they shot it. I found some other good ones in Bear Wallow and Blue/Ghallagher. I thought I had them but they zigged instead of zagged....
I had taken two weeks off from work, but my wife who is in nursing school called me back after one week because our babysitter tore a rotator cuff and couldn't babysit. I shot a small six point off coming off of Sullivans hay fields headed for Horse Ridge. I had a blast and got to return to some of my favorite country in the world, so even though it got cut short and I ended up with a young bull for the freezer, I had a GREAT time!I saw more elk than I ever thought I would, put on numerous stalks, and have a full freezer. I also got to follow a fresh wolf kill in the bottom of Grouse canyon, where he got a fawn by the creek. I trailed it up the hill a quarter of a mile to where he stashed it under a tree where he could see without being seen, plucked his dinner, and consumed half of it. For those that hate wolves, you can enjoy the fact that I claimed a nice hindquarter roast! Saw wolf sign in Grouse, Meyers, and all around a fresh cow of Clarks (I assume) up Modoc cr. I personally think they are awesome critters, esp seing how they are a keystone species that has been absent from our ecosystem for so long. I didn't see any of them down there, but I saw numerouse ones when I was living in Moscow and hunting the Palouse and Dworshak zones. Thank you to everyone that gave me pointers leading up to my hunt. The amount of country in that hunt is amazing, I wish I could have hunted it all for 30 days...

Congrats on the bull, chasing and seeing the big ones is why we keep going back up the hill. Pretty cool wolf story.

You should have stayed with that bull, I talked to Tim today, said he took a different hunter in a few days later, bull was still there. Said they had him dead to rights, but hunter decided to pass as she didn't think he was big enough. One of the few decent bulls in the area.

I talked to Tim on the way out, he said they were going in with horses the next day for retrieval, so I waited a few days. Every time I went back there were guys in there. Dead bull in the road at the mouth of the canyon someone had shot...Rifle shot 400 yards above me when I open my door...I had other nice bulls I was chasing. He was a nice bull, though! There was a nice buck rutting in the mahogany in Meyers I got some nice footage of. Chasing does pretty hard! I had never hunted late season in my life, so I had to figure out some stuff. I had a blast, that is what really mattered! Hopefully with the wife graduated from nursing school in a year and the babies all getting out of diapers, hunting season will not be so hectic for me in a few years. This was the first year in almost 30 years I did not get a deer tag.
