im kinda faced with a dilema i have 2 165-175+ bucks spotted in a little hideaway i would really like to go after, one is an inline 28''+ 5x5 and the other 25'' ish 4x4 id glady take either one! my dilema tho is i have my archry LE elk tag to fill also!! so do i try for the bucks opening day or go after big bulls? there is a possibility of elk being in the same area ...i seen some kinda older tracks in there but didnt see any elk when i found these bucks.. the deer hunt gets more pressure im not sure how many people drop down into theis little hideaway during the hunt. ive never hunted it just kinda discovered it with those bucks in it. i know areas near by get lots of pressure. so do i try for the deer opening morning or go for elk and risk someone else finding these deer or possibly bumping them? im thinkin if i dont go after the deer right away they may nit stay there...so im leanin toward the deer as i have no true monster bulls in sight as of now.if i find a giant bull between now and the hunt there will be no question what i will go after. but that 5x5 is a dandy general season buck he could possibly push 180 i am thinkin lower 170's tho he was a long way away and i didnt get closer casue i didnt want to disturb them. the elk will get easier as septmeber comes along the deer hard any suggestions???!!!
