Wyoming elk report. Wife shot her bull about 6 pm yesterday and shorty after will taking care of it another bull stepped out of the trees to see what was going so I shot him. Then we had the fun of a 5 to 6 hour ride in the dark back to the truck. Have I mentioned how much fun it is to ride a horse down the mountain in the dark.
I told the guide I wanted a nice juicy young bull and that is what I got. During the night a griz dragged my elk into the woods took a big bite out of a hind quarter and took the head. We could not find it, the head, did get the meat.
Wife and I saw 11 bull elk yesterday and the guide saw 3 more for a total of 14. The wife's bull was with about 12 to 16 cows, never could get a good count before she shot him.
We knew the bear was in the area before we got the elk because we cut the grizzly track in the fresh elk tracks. This made for some tense time while working on the elk. It should be noted the guide had a 44 mag on his hip and an 870 with slugs close by.
