2011 Scouting Trip

jst can't wait until season starts! u do know that bull is going 2 the cow's after those antler's harden up? have u found the cow's yet? I hunt near Helena and Ive been following a good seized up herd with about 50-60 head of elk. No bull's around yet, but a good year for calf's. The smaller rag horn's and spikes are bugling hard! Well at least they're tryin! need to post my video of them tryin, it sounds ridiculous.

I don't know where he will be. I wish I did. I have found bulls near their summer range during season often, however. Some bulls, especially some older bulls, seem to start rounding up cows a little later. I think some don't rut at all.

I still think that basin is worth a look.

Good luck to you on the elk you have found!

wow! not rutting at all, that sound's like a good shed hunting spot in the spring. This year i think the bull's will rut earlier because of the cooler year were having. Look's like that spot would hold some big mule deer? Have u seen any?
