To say we didn’t have to work for what we got would be an understatement. Some of our party hit up 6 different general units ranging from se to the far western part of the state in search of active bugles and cooperative elk. We went several days without hearing bugles and then we would locate active ones and in a day they would be dormant again. Overall we filled 3/4 tags and had every opportunity to fill all. There were two big bulls missed within 40 yards and several others that just hung up. I went just for the meat and was happy with my first opportunity on a calf so I could help the rest of the group. The weather from my understanding was very different from years past as well. We had several days in the upper 80’s and the ground was extremely dry making stalking next to impossible. Overall in the grand scheme persistence is what puts meat in the cooler and I was blessed to be out with a great group of guys.
Our meals also worked out perfect. I pre made everything in tins and bags and had everything done in under an hour on my camp chef oven. The longest meal was lake trout alfredo I think due to being too froze. We also had lasagna, chili tater tot hot dish, taco soup, enchillada and many other meals that worked out perfect with little to no cleanup.
