I know it's a rifle hunt, but look at the smile on Hunter's face. He heard his first bugle in the darkness that morning, Day 2. He was sitting right next to grandpa when this lone bull came moving through around 11 am, silently. He was going somewhere having been pushed from by other hunters.

From: Ohvaco

Beendare, I know what you're saying. It was our first year there and we were in a tough spot for sure. Beetle kill everywhere. That camp spot was the best of we could find - we analyzed it heavily taking into account direction of tree lean, prevailing wind - and overall beautiful view as it would be a good place to die if it were our time! We hunted the same area last year but camped in a different location with a much safer campsite. The one you see in the 2013 pic. Plan to be back there in two weeks.

Valle Vidal's Cimmaron CG, NM. 2012. Notice the coolers under the trailer. Bears are said to be an issue, so we would just set the coolers under the trailer rear and crank the jack up, thereby weighting with several hundred pounds.
Of course the better way to keeps bears out of your coolers; have a tag in your pocket. 17 days.....

Sothern Colorado actually. We like to base camp and ride out daily or overnight. We see a lot of country that way, but it isn't the most efficient way to chase elk... or deer I suspect!

Northern New Mexico 2014, 3 friends (2 hunters)elk action but no shots. Thanks to Leroy for putting us on to the elk. Had a total of 6 bulls come to our calls. Saw and heard plenty of elk, just could not close the deal. Dusty and warm towards the end. I did most of the cooking...nobody died. LOL! New Mexico folks were friendly and we had no issues with our camp. Just an empty meat pole. Bulls were together early and cows with calfs spotted by their lonesome. Did see cows with a bull late into the hunt. A few came in silent, the three of use got busted once at 20yd. by a spike in stealth mode. Others circled to get our wind. I got educated,and lost 12#. The other 2 guys lost 6 and 7# each. 2400 mi. round trip with no drama. We will try again in 2015 if possible. Good Luck everyone. LaGriz

2014 New Mexico.
Back in camp a half hour before sunset when my 6 yr old decided the camp fire was much less boring than chasing screaming bulls. We listened to bugling bulls over the sounds of a crackling fire while we made smores and legal light faded.
Wouldn't trade it for anything, I wish my 6 yr old and I were in camp NOT killing any elk right now!
Hoping to get to do it next year again......
