Welcome to Idaho elk camp (semi-live)

[Sytes]

@Hilljackoutlaw give the elk hell! Enjoying the thread.

Off note though seems a nice diversion between @Hilljackoutlaw awesome updates...

All I have to say is Hallmark Ute. Made in U.S.A. - Colorado by the Ward family. 4 season... and still trailer wtf you want.

Posted up now glassing and tucked in some trees in a park we have seen elk. If elk come out here great if not hopefully locate some others from here. Nothing talking so kinda going ambush style tonight.


Cutting firewood worked up an appetite for elk camp nutritional goodies.

Keep it up! If you get bored around camp after you fill your bellies you might discuss who's worth picking for Bristol Saturday night. Or not. I need all the help I can get clawing my way out of this hole.

Hunting partner just hit a limb and clean missed a decent 5x5. He came into the park all alone. Didn't spook to bad so were hopeful more show up. Win some ya lose some....keep hammering I told him haha

 

[Elkmagnet]

Take that limb home I have a couple of those trophies on the shelf

I really felt like I knew that area well when I lived down there and hunted it but I can truly say I don’t think I have any good idea of where you’re hunting. Good luck, looks like a great time and fun hunting

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

Well no more elk hit the park.
We see elk everywhere glassing, which is a net positive. Literally everywhere. I could glass 8 good size parks tonight from my perch and 5 of them had elk. The negative is they won't talk. We heard zero elk vocalizations again tonight. We will just keep using our glass to setup hunts until they start to sing a little.
Tomorrow looks like a possible rainy day so I'm gonna head to big sky then bozeman to get some work done. I'll be back to the wall tent for dinner and get the update on the days hunt from Jason and Ron. Stay tuned...

I’m hoping the lack of updates means your packing one out!

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

I went and worked today. On way back to camp now.

If you are around during lunchtime I got you on a beer brother! It would be an honor and a pleasure! I thought you were in ID??? Must be hunting near IP?

Shoot me a PM, and if you need another pack guy, it’s a little bit of a jaunt for me but I’ll be there if’n you need me!

Not a damn peep again this morning. Saw some worked towards them and nothing. Not sure what the hang up is. It was absolutely perfect this morning.

The heavy clouds keep getting closer.

[Flatbrimmer]

But you got a grouse right!?

But you got a grouse right!?

It was that grouse's lucky morning. I just took pics. Idk why I just didn't feel like wacking it.

 

[Flatbrimmer]

Where you at mang??? I’m at R bar for the moment, had to grub early to be back for beams but I’ll be here for another half hour-45 if you’re around! The bar owes me a round anyway! $10 burger and a brew today..

Sounds like the weather may be getting good for rutting bulls...

Midweek showers followed by beautiful weather this weekend

We are transitioning into an early fall weather pattern across Northwest Wyoming as warm days and chilly nights are becoming the norm. Showers and...
