a little bit make sure we get up in the sunlight get our thermals coming up it
just kind of says what we have let's call in some elk baby I love it
last fall Dan was able to take a great bull from the very same area and this
year he's hoping for a repeat things are looking good and the bulls are really
fired up let's see what happens
well we've got a great herd bull right here big 'ol thick beamed muddied up the 330
bull working over that little pine tree gets y'all fired up he's probably got 30
cows up there we're just gonna kind of get a feel for what's in here tonight this is our
first night in here new spot and make a plan for tomorrow right come
right back up here tomorrow and see where they go to bed sneaking up Idaho
public land general tag a 330 bull's pretty good under those circumstances
pretty dang good
well there comes another cow oh there's another bull there he is
that's him Tim on the sky line must be a wallow down in the saddle he's got mud on his horns- big 5th points he's 330
well we've got a great 6x6 spotted this morning
we didn't see him last night there's about 40 elk him and then a smaller bull
headed into the timber up there it's a lot of eyes in there go sneak in there and try to
kill herd bull it's 40 animals but I like our odds it's a spot where the wind is
good it's gonna be consistent we're getting westerlies I like our odds of
might have heard a bugle it's pretty quiet
so we're just headed up this draw see if we can run into that bull with his cows
circumnavigated this mountain today
they must have a cow in estrous right in here two bulls, two herd bulls
just kind of letting it develop and these two other kids come running and blow us
and set up and start calling and so that's what we have down here public land hunting for
you freaking people around it everywhere
well today's morning of day three and we changed locations sure enough we found
all the elk but no bulls big enough it's been about our luck so far so check this
basin over here see if we can find a legal bull and if we don't we're out
of here going to find legal bulls
big growler's over there
on that timbered ridge
I just X ringed him perfect tight to the crease of shoulder just below center
right on the nose at 68 yards I told my cameraman Tim to just stay up here
cause there's all this rock it would have been too easy to blow him out I mean
it's a perfect hit he's toast I bet he's 50 yards right there but he
ran up there probably 30 yards and then tumbled the rest
well here he is 2015 general tag public land Idaho a pretty good bull for the
area we're hunting in top end is about 320 or so and he's probably 300 the old
whale tail on the side we go five by six shot him at 68 yards down the hill he
only went 50 from where I shot him to where he rolled to a stop down here so a
lot of work to get this guy out of here it'll be worth every step that's for
sure on to Wyoming next and then Montana later so thanks for watching this week's
episode remember fair chase is the only way to hunt and take trophy big game
how about that Tim so we want to do if we want to kill 370 bull 40-yards
coulda stroked him what a giant huh gee
