Well as most of you know I drew the Peaches Ridge Archery Bull tag this year and was looking for some help... it came in the form of some members here but mostly from my buddy Mike Henne! We took his horses into a spot yesterday to do some scouting and had a blast! Didn't see any big bulls but found quite a few cows and some smaller bulls... I'll let the pics tell the story! Also, if you know where this area is, try to keep it under your hat please... I checked with Mike and he gave me the go ahead on posting the pics so here it goes!
We got in some fishing before dark on the first night and caught us some TASTY trout!
Saw a LOT of Goats in this area... sorry the pics are so blurry here...
First light...
Thanks to my AWESOME elk spotting abilities I sighted this buck at a whopping 80 yards! haha
More Country...
Couple Elk...
Our fearless guide... who also likes to steal sleeping pads! haha
Myself...
We even found some radio collared elk!
And coming back into camp we found some cows coming right in to feed with the horses! (Though the horses didn't know what to think!)
Thats all I got for now! Seems that the next time I'm there will be 2 days before the season to scout what basins are holding elk, how the rut is progressing, and to see if a muley buck will show himself aswell!
