Got my Bull Elk opening day....that's the good news. The bad news...I haven't seen a Buck in 10 days of hunting. Only a hand full of does in an area where historically I have seen Bucks and Does every day. Last winter has taken a huge toll on deer numbers here. Also the Chukars are almost non existent.
This season there seems to be more hunters here than I have ever seen. I have a feeling many will go home empty handed.
I will hunt hard Sunday evening and all day Monday and Tuesday....never give up till the fat lady sings.

No Buck as of rifle season end. Looks like I will be back at it in December for archery either sex season. I will have about 10 days to hunt in the month. As long as the snow hasn't piled up I should have a fair chance at a harvest. A few years ago I stalked two big bucks (4x4 & 4x5) to within 72 yards before they busted me. I'm only comfortable out to 50 yards. The stalk was the most exciting hunt ever. Took me over an hour to crawl in the snow from 250 yards (when I first saw them) to 72 yards. That's why it's called hunting!
