As a first time hunter I just got back from the Gravely Range with an outfitted 5 day hunt. No luck. Seen a dozen bulls. Also had some within 50 yards in the timber that never shown themselves. Seen a 370 class at 150 yards that just looked at us from a far for 15 min. That sucked. Most of the bugeling was over by 9 AM. We hunted sun up to sun down. It was 85 degrees at 8800' but I had a very enjoable time in regard to the camp and the hunt. Just would have liked to harvest an Elk. Now that I have this desier to shoot one I want to go back. But the cost will take care of that. Maybe in a few years.
One question, did the hot temps tight lip the elk? Also could it have pushed the rut off a few days? When we tried a cow call the bulls sometimes shut up and we did not see them. Only one 4x4 came into a cow call. This was the first day by the way and we did pass per guide. Oh well.
Just want to thank everone who helped me prior to the hunt. I did not have to use the grizzley spray thank god.
