Luck has very little to do with it when Bob is after them. Whack a big one

[txhunter]

Keep us updated on how things are going.

Good luck Bobster and be safe.

Good luck and kill a big one:fencing:

[Trailboss]

I'd be a lot more concerned for the welfare of the elk if Dena were going, but best of luck Bobster. Hope you stick a good 'un.

Thanks for the good luck wishes for Bobby!

TB, there is no cell reception up there. I know that they made it to Creed yesterday afternoon, but have not heard anything since then.

I'll keep y'all posted!

[wassaw]

"No cell reception" thats what i would tell my wife also if i was in the mountains hunting elk!!!!
Elk Steak, It's whats for dinner!!! Good luck, Bobby!!

Man i bet that was a beautiful sunrise this morning!

I'm wishin' Bobster lots of luck but I bet he's dreadin' that remodeling bill to make room for the ne trophy. Who am I kiddin', I bet H4H already has the plans drawn up!! I'm just jealous and wish I had that problem.

[Hot4huntin]

So far, no remodeling plans are needed. :( I received a call from Bobby this morning, because they were rained in and unable to hunt. He said they have seen some monsters! They've been in the elk, but have not been able to close the deal. They haven't been able to get within 70 yards of them for various reasons. One being that there are too many eyes. Like, what, I'm suppose to feel sorry for him because there are too many elk!! :boohoo: He said they've also seen moose and bear. It sounds like he is having a wonderful trip!!

Steve, elk steak sounds yummy! We haven't had any in a couple of years. It was good seeing you and Vicki this weekend!

[Hitman]

Go get em Bob!!!

[Bowwiz]

I hope someone shoots a Elk,Good Luck!

[wassaw]

Too Many eye's is a bad thing. prayers for a change in luck. keep us informed!
good seeing you also. I need to participate in these events instead of showing up. :(

[Injun]

The elk are already wet great bobster go get you one. Save room for a Kudu too!

[Berandel]

Cool ! Two of the three times I have elk hunted in Colorado were in Unit 76 SW of Creede...but it's been a loooooooong time.

[Hot4huntin]

I spoke with Bobby last night and still no elk. They came close yesterday and had one within 35 yards, but his buddy is shooting a long bow and didn't want to take that long of a shot. He said it was 31 degress with ice one morning and last night when I was talking to him it was 40 degrees. Great hunting weather!

[LostHawg]

Luck to Bob and friend.

Y'all call us when the grills smokin'. ;)

Watch out for those game wardens though. They're ruthless!! :D

[Ronny]

Did Bob get a elk.:D

[biggen]

Well?!!:confused:

[Hot4huntin]

Nope, they got skunked!! :( No elk steak for us! :spank:

He did bring home some great pics though.

[BOBSTER]

:(Like H4h said, we got skunked on this trip. We saw lots of big elk, just could not put an arrow into any of them. The first evening after we arrived and set up camp, we went out on a ledge to see if we could hear any elk. It did not take long to start seeing elk in all directions. We even watched a very large bear walk across the meadow. We say a heard of cows all by themselves, a really big bull by himself and other bulls bugling all around us. The next morning we got right into the middle of a herd bull with cows. My buddy was up for the shot, and was trying at a little satelite bull. While everything was going on, I walked up on a small bull moose. Then I had a small bull run between me and the moose, but did not want a small one on the first day, so he finally smelled me and spooked. Then we had two larger bulls about 75 yards out that would not come any closer. That was it for day one. The next day really was not any better, had a few close calls, but no luck again. Are area started getting a little crowded with other hunters coming in so we decided to try somewhere else the next day. Once again, we got into a herd of elk, but I could not get any closer than about 60 yards with alot of eyes watching me. The big bull would never give me a open shot. There were several more days like this, and a couple of rain outs in between. We finally moved camp to another location and had lots of elk all around us. We even had one wake us up in the middle of the night bugling within a hundred yards of camp. I guess there was only one day that we did not get into any elk. On the last morning, we finally had a elk that wanted to play with us. We got him mad enough that he would come within 40 yards, but not shot oppurtunity still. He finally circled around us and came in from above us and my buddy almost had the shot. He came walking down the trail he was on, but locked up at 10 yards head on with him with his head down. He finally bolted and that was pretty much it for our trip. We had a big rain storm coming in that evening and decided it was time to head back home. Thanks everyone for your encougement. Elk hunting is alot of work. Bob

[Hot4huntin]

Great recap, Bobby! Too bad that y'all didn't bring home any elk this year! As Ed said, you can have a successful hunt without ever flinging an arrow! It sounds like that applies here! I'm glad you had a great trip, but I very glad to have you home!

Here are some pics!

Great ReCap, Boby.

Sounds like a "succesfully trip" to me, too.

Thanks for sharing

[Ronny]

[BOBSTER]

Thanks again everyone. We were hunting at over 1200 feet. Very pretty country there. :angel2: Bob

Awesome pix! Looks like you had a good time even if you didn't get to arrow an Elk!
