Hunted Saturday and until noon Sunday. My Step Brother shot a cow Saturday on his very first day of hunting in his life(he is 36, but was not lucky enough to have a father to teach him growing up). We called in cows on 5 set ups. There was a bull in the group that my step brother shot his, but he took the first good shot he had. I don't blame him. Any elk is a good elk in your first year of hunting. The next day close to the same spot we got a bull that was with cows already screaming at us. This dude was thrashing everything, sounded like he was tearing trees out of the ground. He was coming in hot, but the wind sucked and at about 75 yards it hit us in the back and they slowly moved off. I am excited for my week off starting the 12th. We have a spot that is loaded with cows and I am hoping the bulls will be all around soon.
