Thanks guys. I am in Twin Falls, ID now. Headed home. Bitter sweet. I had 8 days to hunt but with all the weather warnings it was pretty nerve racking. I spotted four elk feeding on a ridge over two miles away. Thought I saw one with horns. They were just feeding into a little draw.
Finally found a way to reach them. Made a perfect stalk. Spotted two in the timber bedded but could not see their heads. I layed in the snow with the wind gusting to about 40mph for an hour. I was across the draw from them at 225 yards. Crawled in to 190 but could still not see horns. I sent my friend back up and around to the truck. He got out the Hoochie Mama and then worked above them and started calling. They stood up and started coming to his call.
I saw the one I had been watching moving his head around and could get glimpses of his rack. He looked good. When he stepped int a small opening, exposing his vitals I put one in him. Four Bulls came busting out of the timber at a dead run. I put one more in mine as he ran at full speed quaffing toward me. Down he went. I think he broke the G2 when he face planted but I could not find it burried in the snow.
