Dropped all my 8 Elk points to get a first season rifle 49 tag. I work overseas with a guy whose sister is married to the 49 Elk guru. And this is the first time in several years I know I am going to be stateside and could apply for the tag knowing I could go. I met the guy who was really a great guy and knew his elk and had downed some big ones. He was a great hunter was really looking forward to hunting with him and excited about the possibility of seeing some big ones and fulfill a lifelong dream of a 300 plus bull.
Well tragically about three weeks ago he died of a massive heart attack. I know my elk hunt pales to his death and its impact on his family but trying to salvage my hunt in some way. His wife gave me contact info of a guy he had hunted with a few times and he is going to share information, but is the first to admit his info is limited.
To complicate matters I have a high country llama wilderness muzzy hunt in New Mexico that season is Oct 8-12 and then straight back to this hunt which is Oct 15-19 or so my pre-hunt scouting time will be limited. I plan on scouting numerous times before my NM hunt to get a lay of the roads and trails.
I am going to have access to llamas and hunt hard and will do anything possible to put a 300 plus bull in my sights.
Anyways, any help would be appreciated and I make a point to help those that help me.
Thanks
Ted
