First rifle elk 51

[7mms]

One of three tags filled,partner put nice 4x4 on the ground on first morning .elk were not vocal n bear hunters were running dogs in area near Canjilon lakes,lots of a atv traffic, lots of people out in general.Would hunt other areas of unit in the future.More moisture in summer was needed,all in all could have been better hunt imo.Would show pics if were my bull,nice animal, partner was happy,good luck to all the hunters on next hunt,be safe.

An acquaintance, who loves to hunt 51 and has for YEARS said it was the toughest first rifle hunt ever this year....

I would have to agree outdoorsdude,I was expecting more from this hunt, we hunted hard and not much action to show for it.I would have to think twice about putting in for this unit again,seriously.Hope others had better hunt n tagged out.
