First ever DIY elk hunt and my buddy and I drew 1st rifle elk tags. It’s been cold at night, in the teens and cool during the days. We didn’t exactly think there would be as snow as we’ve encountered.
I finally have signal and am sitting up here on the mountains at 12,000’. Saw some cow elk at lower elevation a couple days before season opened and it kept us down there for the opening morning hunt.
After another hunt without seeing anything we moved to higher elevation. First bulls we saw were today. 2 came in to within 70 yards of us without winding us. They were smaller 3x5s but legal. We passed on them and hoping to see a bigger one. Who knows, maybe we’ll regret that decision.
I have more photos I’m posting on instagram plus videos. @b2ricks2
