Well, the opener came and is gone but the excitement is still there. We were SOOOOOOOOO dang close to getting it done on opening night, but oh well, I guess that's why they call it hunting, and archery hunting presents even more complications.
We've seen a lot of bulls but are still trying to narrow it down to a few. I'll keep you posted on what happens this weekend when we get back.

Glassing the night before the opener.........

Sitting in our makeshift blind that we made to try and get a bull coming to water. I could have shot every bull that came in five times, but when the big one came in he winded us and didn't present a shot.

Reg and Brandon hanging out with me while we were sitting...... thanks everyone already for all the help-that's what makes it even funner!!

A little video clip of a bull starting to think about wallowing.........it's getting closer to being that sweet time of year for elk!!


Keep checking back and hopefully we'll have some kill photos, but if not, I'll keep you updated on what happens.
I hope others have had some luck since the opening-post some pics of your hunts so far and the kills if you got one.

I'm on the peaks too and I heard some bugles around. I missed opening morning at 35 yards! I'm pumped for the weekend though! Good luck to everyone with or without a tag.
