Todd and I enjoyed our first weekend of Elk hunting. On Friday, we hiked up to camp which is 8 miles. It was so hot when we finally got there that we went for a cold creek bath, had dinner and went to bed. Saturday we hunted up in a high alpine bowl where we usually find elk early season. Just as expected we glassed and found four bull elk together. We put a good stalk on them and closed the distance to within 150 yards when the wind changed so we had to hold back. Sunday we got into another great area and made a couple good stalks. We got in really close on one bull and boy did he stink! He managed to slip us, but we know where he lives so we set up a game cam to try and pattern him. Pre rut summer heat sucks, bring on the cold lets get this rut started!
