Well I went elk hunting, and had a blast. Got into a bunch of animals, but no true spikes. I left tues the day before the cow opener. My buddy had a cow tag, and I found a bull, and 2 cows bedded, and I ran my friend down, and took him to them. The bull was gone but the cows were still there. He got a nice 75 ys shot on the bigger cow. She was a good 400 lbs I'm guessing. Biggest cow I've ever packed out or seen on the ground. He shot her at 11 am, and the last load was in the truck at 5. She was only A mile from the truck. Did the gutless method for the first time, and that's the way To go. Didn't even get bloody. Im not ready to retire my rifle so there are a few areas that are open for elk so I'm giving that a go. They are not known for holding many elk, but I have seen elk in a few of them..maybe I'll get lucky. Bear is open till the 15th too. Another tag that needs fillin. Fishing is good. I had the weekend reserved for the gal, and I with PHil Stevens so I have enough fish to last a while. Just not enough eggs so it's kinda tough to not fish with the nice weather. That Phil never fails to put us on big fishin.
