Anyone looking for a great free range elk hunt had better jump on this. I hunted aoudad with Mike a couple years ago and he and his guide Mike (guy on left in 1st pic)worked hard to make my hunt everything my son and I had hoped for and more (even if it was one of the shortest hunts I have ever been on....Thanks to my guide Mike)
Keith Thanks keith, I had a blast with you and you're son as well.
shoot fast or shoot last!! When in doubt call a scout!!

He said he will post tonight or in the morning. Hunted hard and got on some nice bulls. Ended up taking what we guessed to be an 8yr old bull last few minutes of light yesterday evening. I will let him tell the story.

Well like Mike said it was a long hunt, but a lot of fun and we saw probally 30+ elk including some nice bulls. What I think was the biggest bull we saw was with 3 cows and would leave the alfalfa field early into brush on the bext place where we could not hunt him, not to be seen again until the next morning early leaving the field again from long range. Even though the bulls were just sheddign their velvet the RUT was definately on their minds. We heard no bugles but one bull with a group of cows and small bulls was checkign out every cow and chasing them around. The hunt should have been over Saturday afternoon but I did something I have not done in years MISSED well if you shoot at enough critters that can happen. Sunday sfternoon we decided to setup on the west side of the alfalfa field where most of the elk were comming to and from the field and since they were comming in at different times Sid and myself setup behind some old hay bales which is setup for a blind 6 hours ot broiling in the sun so without any game seen. Mike saw the main herd in the brush headed toward another field so we relocated only to have that herd stop in the brush and start feeding it looked like on Mesquite beans. So Sid and I went back to the hay bales about sundown. With about 10minutes of shootign time left a one bull came out into the field and this time I didn't miss and as they say the work begain. This lone bull was like Mike said older probally at least 8, by our guess and a couple more that looked at him agreed with that. The Bull is a 4X5 sith some nice character and very good mass for the size rack and tine legnth.

Congrats on your bull, well done brother!!! That old bull reminds me of a bull I took in SE Colorado a few years back. Old and heavy but with short points.
A true friend reaches for your hand but touches your heart.
