Little John:
Mike, glad you joined in. All the luck to ya, have a great hunt and am anxious to hear the story. What date does your season open and for how long? Well you live in some awsome game country, glad you can live it to the max.
Keenan, are you hunting those big Oyimpic elk that Glen St,Charles hunted way back when? Is your wife hunting with you? Packing in? public land? wilderness?
hawkbow:
My elk tag doesn't open until the fifteenth of sept... but Wolf Watcher has a sept 1st tag so we are going after his first.. I will be hunting black bear at the same time ... should be a good wilderness hunt ... I took a 360 bull there with my bow a few years ago... I have been shooting 500 arrows every night and have the fever real bad... Hawk a/ho
Little John:
Hawk, there is nothing like a wilderness hunt, especially in an area known to produce trophy class elk. The primitive gear just makes it about ten times sweeter. Best of luck Brother L.J.
Keenan:
Kenneth,
We have several areas that we will hit. Opening weekend we will be down near Cresent lake in the diamond peak wilderness. After that, a few spots up off the Cascade lakes Hyw. for a few day hunts here and there.
Our main scheduled time is the last week deep in the Three Sisters Wilderness. Thats my favorite spot and has produced some nice bulls for me in the past. They are Rosevelt elk up there. Huge bodies but slightly smaller but heavy racks. The mature bulls will crown out at the top of the rack similar to a red stag.
Several years ago I got a 7x8 in that same area that has huge bases and very thick main beams but the tines are relatively short compared to the rocky mountain elk.
But the bodies are the size of a horse. I had hind quarters that were near 150 lbs. off that bull.
Good luck Hawkbow and everyone else.
