MT opening day Elk hunt , the swing shift

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

My job I have to work till 1 AM, yesterday was the rifle opener in Montana

Got up about 730am packed the truck left the house around 10am
got in the Woods at around 1pm … Bull down 6pm

He came past me, bugling and screaming pushing about 10 cows at about 75 - 80 yds , now he’s pushing up daisy’s

I’ve only been hunting elk for 11 years. This is my sixth elk and my biggest , pretty amazing day.

Well, time to start thinking about deer hunting and guiding for my family , I still got four weeks off of rifle season …






Hung him in a tree overnight came back with friends and a game cart this morning


On to the next one Ol’ Son ……



The end !!!

Awesome! I believe you are getting a quick handle on the Montana thing.
Was that a general tag?

Flat. Open. I have been hunting the wrong country for elk.

Congrats on the bull and on your choice of beer!

I was thinking the same thing. Elk hunting Idaho really seems like the worst thing going

Yes sir , 2 bulls less than a year apart 349 days between harvests

Last year was a general tag this season was a drawn tag , won’t say the area because I got the suggestion from a friend, and outta respect for him I can’t share any info ….
