This year has just been a weird year all around. From Elk rut to deer rut.

Find water. And if they’re around, you’ll know.

Heck ya! Way to get it done! You stayed at it, even when it went south! Congrats!

Hello all, My son and dad have the 21 hunt this weekend. Unfortunately our plans got trashed as my son had surgery yesterday. He is gonna be able to hunt, but not where we wanted to. Are there deer around chloride? My dad wants to go there, but I have never been there.

AND it’s a lot healthier for you. That’s the biggest plus of eating wild game. Who knows what they put in store bought meat now.

Hahahahaha dam swirling wind!!!!!

Isn’t that the bull we discussed you having tied up for me in 16? How’d you let him get that far? ?

I am not lucky enough to draw. May never draw a tag the rest of my life. ? only took me almost 30 years to draw this one.

Other hunters were an issue. We had an area that we found several bulls in, and were making plays on them, just things weren’t perfect, so didn’t want to push them out. Knew I had days left on the hunt so wasn’t too aggressive. If wind wasn’t good, or any other reason, would back off. The...

I don’t know if it was behind or ahead of schedule. I saw bulls alone, bulls grouped together and cows without bulls also. I did see quite a few elk, so I can’t complain. I had chances. Had to put in a lot of work for them. But, that’s what it takes. I’m still kind of processing it all to be...

Exactly. Had an evening and a morning of pretty good bugling for me. That was it. Found a spot that was holding elk, people saw us going in there everyday and it turned into a circus. Camped off the road from reserve to snow lake, like a highway all day the whole time we were up there. Tried...

Saw two packs in 16a last week. And one solo, but running over the hill, so I’m sure his pack was on the other side.

It was. Even when they bugled it wasn’t loud. Could barely hear them in the same canyon some times. I’ve never seen it like that. I only saw one bill with cows. The rest were solo or with other bulls. Extremely strange.

I came back late Saturday. Had to get ready for work today. Had quite a few opportunities. Passed some smaller bulls, chased a monster for a few days. Messed up on a good 6x6 at 12 yards. Overall fun hunt, but they were extremely quiet. Most only chuckled when they responded.

You aren’t lying it’s been quiet. One day they were bugling good out of the whole hunt. I thought I hit the jackpot drawing this tag, but it’s been nothing but miles and miles and few opportunities.
