just another stump with lots of character!
We had a nice 5 days in the woods, but it was sooooo hot, 80+ degrees at 10k feet first two days and not much better the next three. First day by the time we got past road construction and what not, we got about an hour of hunting before dark, we decided not to call or anything, but just to walk up by camp where we seen lots of sign two years ago when we hunted this unit and see if there was any sign. We seen some tracks going in, but nothing smoking fresh, we eased up through the shoot and all of sudden I see movement in the trees ahead, a real nice bull I think, had we hunted that spot like normal and setup and called we might of gotten a chance, but in a flash we saw him and then he saw us and that was all the elk interaction we had. We did get into a mess of grouse the next evening and Judy finally got to shoot at something living, she didn't get anything, but all her arrows survived unscathed, I didn't get anything either, but am two arrows less now, lol. I get to go up again Thursday for the day or maybe two and then next week we go up for another week of hunting together, it's what we live for and practice for the other 335 days of the year!
