The end results of my Limited Entry Rifle hunt were spectacular
because i had great hard working guides and the man upstairs was watching over us and gave us a bit of Luck.
In six days of hard hunting there were very few bulls talking and not many mature bulls being spotted (350) plus type bulls.
I only saw one other bull other than the bull i harvested over 350 and from the reports of the other guides and hunters it was very tough hunting.
All in all the quantity of elk was very low and there were not the big bulls around on this unit that had been in the past .
I heard in 2006 of one hunter passing 6 bulls over 350 in one day....
Both my guide Eric and Gooch both commented on how the truly big bulls on the unit had either been killed off the unit migrated off the unit or were just plain nocturnal.
Based upon all the summer scouting ,trail cams and spotters we had out over the course of the summer it looks like the unit has been harvested pretty hard on its top end bulls.
I know the tags on the unit were cut back this year and now i understand why.
It was a hunt of a lifetime for me but based upon my observations the future elk hunts on the Beaver unit are going to be harder and harder, especially for the 350 plus type bulls.
I am one lucky man to have killed a bull of a lifetime i am just glad i had the opportunity in 2009....
