No bugles. Was really wanting to hear some. We walked up on this one about 30 minutes after daylight with my guide using a huge cow elk cutout decoy. He was going into the timber but the cow call brought him back out. Never seen anything like it in my live. Walked from about 300 yards to 71...
That is a tough decision. Maybe I should have waited on mine, but never having killed an elk I was glad to get one on the ground. Mine was 71 yards straight uphill. Us flatlanders aren't used to that!!!
I killed a small bull Sunday morning in Unit 7. Coming from western KY I found that to be some rough country. This was my first elk, so I was happy to get him on the ground and to the processor. I didn't see any other elk killed when I was there. Weather there getting cooler for next couple...
Saw one spike and one doe this morning...very slow. I did kill a coyote...one shot at 312 yards. That was the highlight of my morning. Plan on getting back out there this afternoon.
I forgot to tell you...I had already used all the good grunts in that call:D I hunted Calloway Co this afternoon and heard shooting all around me...probably 10-12 fairly close shots. However, my luck is still holding...I saw nada!!!!
