got some elk spotted late season hunting here trying to find a bull
ten years running the old man's still doing it you're still doing it
so we found a really nice pull out there can you get them this is big game hunting
booyah
i think we gotta get higher we need some more elevation here so we saw that first
bull a little bit low but that's all we're seeing this morning we're gonna get up high to
the really really really high country
so we're gonna start hiking up there now okay let's go
we uh got some elk spotted
late season hunting here trying to find a bull we found a big herd
looks like mostly cows you're gonna get a better look here what do you see i see like
at least 200 elk they're stretched out for like a mile it's cows cows in small bulls
one small bull that i've seen wow let's get a closer look
how far are we from here
he's about 700 yards away
we just came up on a couple of real nice ones one may be about 350 we think
this is gonna be as real as it gets we're gonna put a stalk on it right now
oh we're trying to get close enough here
they're uh 600 yards right now just a little too far
they're feeding up through the timber though i don't know
we're gonna make it up there quick enough
he's gone
they they got away from us
they were kind of feeding up and uh
they heard us approaching
we're like 400 yards and he made us out i think they're gone
well we uh looked them all over and they're all cows and a couple spikes and stuff
uh nothing that we're looking for so we're gonna keep moving on it's crazy out here in
the desert it's like seven degrees and we have about three inches of snow and uh it's
bluebird day out
it's almost Christmas days are really short that sun's really low in the sky
but pretty beautiful out here for sure off we go to find some more
i know what we could put in that spot
what i think you should have a tooth made out of elk ivory
yeah to put in there no kidding big old fang
well we've just been driving roads and glass and hillsides and
uh not seeing a lot of much of anything but all we can do is keep
covering country and hopefully run into a herd and
put our time in so that's what we're doing
dd stocking the old pond with brown trout
the weather's definitely getting cold out now
we're starting to see a lot more movement
we just moved to a different spot and already we're starting to see a couple up there
a little closer and see how big they are if they're good we'll put a stalk on it
this is big game on this is big game hunting this is as real as it gets screwed
up to work on it you'll get it you'll get it this is big game hunting and this is as
big as it gets
last night we saw a really nice big bull maybe like 350 class um double split
royals so we think he might be up here trees got us on the on the trail hunt so uh
we're gonna do a little climbing do a little glassing and see where that takes us
and cut
i think he's in there
