Just got back from several days of hunting, saw over 200 elk, with most being above timberline in the units I was in, which also accounts for me seeing them without getting a shot.
Tough week, had some bugling early in the morning but would go quiet by 9 a.m.
Came close to filling my mule deer tag on a 165" class buck but he eluded me this morning once I was within 100 yards.
Headed back out on friday, I have three more weekends to hunt.

I will need to type out my story later, but I'll say right now it was the greatest hunt of my life with me taking a nice 5x5 on the absolute last minute of the last day. Hope y'all have a great hunt coming up.

The rain in the Gila is not great if you plan on sitting water. Which is probably your best bet for evening hunts. Run and gun calling is not near as good in the evenings as the mornings.Originally posted by unclefish View PostIn my experience they will be very active right after it quits raining so you need to be out hunting . I shot a bull 2 years ago while it was drizzling...right after a heavy rain.
