Two years ago I had an antelope tag in a unit where I often hunt elk (with minimal success) during archery season. I took my 9 year-old son along, and we tagged out on my antelope in a few hours of hunting. He wanted to “camp out” one more night, and we spent the rest of the day taking care of the meat, shooting a .22, and then had a big campfire. That night the bugling around us was so close and constant that I could hardly sleep. It was the final week of the MT archery season, but I had left my bow at home. The next morning I could hear a bull bugling very close, and 5 minutes later a large 6x6 pushed his cows nearly through our camp. They passed within 75 yards of my truck, and within 40 yards of our fire ring. All in a general unit in Montana. I doubt I’ll ever be so lucky again.
