Jtos,
Myself and 2 buddies just got back from the early rifle bull hunt. I am going to post a story and pictures tonight about the hunt. Moral of the story was the elk were in the rut and bugeling for 1-2 days and then shut up. No animals on the top they went into those deep dark holes. I went into them for 3 straight days and couldn't connect. We hunted the northern part of the unit. This hunt is not as easy as we thought it was going to be. Good Luck. Gary
