well today's day one we put a bull to bed this morning with five cows up in
the aspen patch up there he went to bed really early so he didn't really get
good footage cuz we were so far away it was too dark but it looks like a good
six point we're gonna want to get a closer look we're hunting for 350 so we
got our work cut out for us and we're just gonna hike up this ridge and we're just
gonna hang out and wait and suppose we have that south wind will be in good
shape we'll be set up on the north side of them and that bull came out last
night about seven o'clock 7:30 it gets dark about 8:20 so we'll
have some time to kill him it comes down to that
well this bull is just coralling up a cow in these aspens down here she wants to get away and he's trying to keep her up
we're headed up to a vantage point we were you located here in central Wyoming
going to get up high to a vantage point and have a 360 panoramic view the glass
tonight you never know we're gonna run into
we're seeing deer and elk tracks where this old burn so we'll see something
tonight's just matter if we find the right bull and then we'll have a plan
for the morning so up and up and up about 750 feet up
well we're on this bull that we were on last night
we expect him to come bed on this north face they're just kind of hung up up
there right now I think feeding still we're just gonna keep working up really
slow
we're really close he's like a 320 herd bull chased that little
rag horn right down to us and then he stayed up with the cows and they were
headed over in the thick timber
he stayed with his cows he was 70 yards up their border line too far
we waited that's the way it goes pretty good for public land but we're looking for
something the next size up well we relocated again trying to get away from people it's a
new country we're gonna check it tonight tomorrow morning see if we can find any
good bulls for camp tomorrow morning we'll get out of here and move on
someplace else but head up those cliffs up there above camp and kind of get a
good vantage point see what we can see
well we've been glass in all morning and we have found the elk necca I think but
a lot of them are acting like October elk coming out feeding in the evening
no sign of rutting and headed right back into the timber and I'm sure they'll do
it again tonight but there's just a lot of elk in
here so we're gonna move camp now in the valley and get down to the base of the
mountain there where all these elk are and I think we're gonna have a fun
evening on
with only two days left in Dan's hunt hopes of finding a 350 class bull are
starting to fade however he is bound and determined to go home with a nice
six-point public land bull to put an exclamation point to the end of an
eight-day backcountry hunt in Wyoming's fast elk country well our balls are
right down here you know you found our other herd from
this morning up in the aspens they went in the timber but we're gonna loop
around get up point of him and I'm fully expect him to speed out this way tonight
oh they're fighting Tim they're fighting
this could get interesting these satellite bulls aren't even paying attention
herd bull sounds like it's just over this house or just gonna ease in a little closer
there's his buddy it's not the biggest bull in the world he's not the biggest
bull we saw in the last nine days but we got a lot of cool footage and tomorrow's
the last day
look at that shot just angling down hard oh it's just money to Tim
he's not mega but we've worked hard I don't wait you gotta catch a break
sometime and we're not gonna have any weather events it's first to catch a
break so when you get to break you better take
advantage oh yeah he's a little raggy but this is 6x6 elk that's why I set
out to kill you know we work hard for this stuff this is general tag public
land on him we've got three miles to the truck thanks for watching this week's
episode remember fair chase is the only way to hunt and take trophy big game
we'll see you right here next week on Eastmans' hunting TV there's nothing
fair about this damn they kicked our butt all week
