High country elk in September!

Pat .. Josiah and i both drew high country bull tags again this year ... for the same area where my bow broke on the giant old warrior. i may get a chance at him again if he is still alive and breathing or better yet Josiah get a chance to loose feathered death at an old warrior bull..that would be the icing on the cake. i can tell you brother that early or pre rut bulls respond well to aggressive cow calling. but go easy on the bugling except to locate bulls. happy huntin brothers.
Little John:
Mike,best of luck to you and Josiah on your upcoming hunt. Sounds like you have an awsome area gain. I can't remember but wasn't you hunting a private ranch on that hunt and wasn't it for sale? If I remember corectly also it was more typical of Wyoming rolling hills and scattered pockets of timber, lots of sagebrush. A lot different terrain than we have here in the San Juan. I am excited for you you and Josiah. Kenneth
hawkbow:
same area but the ranch has since sold...we are hunting the higher ground this year lodgepole timber and rocky crags on national forest. hoping for enough time off to get some serious hunting in. I hope you guys get some old warrior bulls to fall in love with your calls, and cant wait for the harvest pics after the hunt.

Good luck Pat! Be safe, and have a great hunt!

A short video is on this site for the gutless skinning method. They leave the bone in on the video, but I remove the bone. A guy told us to leave the bone in and the meat would be better. I disagreed and suspected the heat in the bone would cause spoilage quicker. We removed the bone from all the meat except one hind quarter. It was warm weather when we got the elk down. Guess what, the only meat that spoiled was the quarter with the bone in.
