Bull elk down

It's snowing here and the ground is white rik.We been on elk 4 of the 5 days out but can't close the deal.This weather should help.

Yea, I heard the mountains were supposed to get up to 20". I might have to try over by the mine and see if those 2 mountain monster mulies from last year come down. Good luck Dan. Beats sitting in a tree in the middle of a midwestern swamp, waiting for a deer, doesn't it.

 But I like swamps and Bayous

I miss sitting in a tree alittle bit.When you hear them bulls and they start coming in a tree stand is the farest thing from your mind.Going out in the morning maybe it will be the day with cool weather.

  I haven't been on in awhile, so, Congrats, Deadeye!!!  Nice job!

Thanx Shadow.

Since rifle season started yesterday, there have been so many hunters around that I decided to pull my stands before someone else did. I sat in the stand this morn where I shot the bull a few weeks ago. Long about 9 I climbed down and started pulling the stand. I had everything on the ground and was rolling up ratchet straps when I heard heavy panting behind me. I turned around to see 10 elk running right at me. I instinctively dove for my rifle and put the crosshairs on the biggest of the 2 bulls. 6x6. Thats when I remembered I didn't have a tag anymore. They hit the trees about 50yds. away from me and stopped. That bull gave me a perfect 1/4 away shot. I still didn't have a tag.

Gotta hate when that happens. I am getting in the same boat with you here in Tx with doe tags. Come on rut. Need some horns.....................
