Hey guys newbie here so be easy, enjoy reading your posts and I am trying to
absorb any and all western hunting information that's available. I leave for 16A
the 16th to hunt the 19th.
So here's my dilema, I have only hunted elk 3 times and been fortunate enough
to kill a spike and two 6x6's about 280-290 with bow. What should I hold out for
the first 4 days? I come to the conclusion that if I don't kill a bull the first 4 days
the last two days I would take anything over 300 if I get that opportunity. I would be
happy with a 320 bull but would hate to shoot a bull this size the first day and not
at least give myself a chance at a real keeper. Am I being realistic to let a 320 bull
walk the first 4 days or crazy? Interested to hear opinions of some hunters who
have hunted the Gila. I'm not afraid to eat tag soup but my elk hunting opportunities
have been few and far between and would sure like to bring one home.
