I\'d love to set up an appointment to meet for a day in that unit you sent me to help me figure it out. I had 4 elk within 30 yards but they were coming in from areas i wasn\'t expecting, had a 5x5 bull come straight down a hill at me with his head down, then turned on a dime and walked away straight uphill. (Nothing would stop it, nervous bark, cow mews, nor me yelling, HEY!) Had two cows come in from behind me when the terrain, wind, etc should indicate they should come from the opposite direction. Had a cow still bedded, solo, at 7:00pm. If i had any hair left i\'d have been pulling it out!

:help2:
 
That was an awesome \"ride along\" Brad. Thanks for taking us along on the joy ride! Terrific videos too! :clap:

I know that area is a good one!
Every elk encounter should be analyzed as to why it happened :)

And geeee, an excuse to go up to the mountains and talk elk?
Im game!

Only 11 months to plan a day or two. :mrgreen:
 
Fantastic, Cole! Talk about \"Preparation\" meeting \"Opportunity\" ... and introduced by \"Patience\".

Is that what they call \"Luck\"?

Just kidding ... Knutsons make their own luck. Sounds like son got some of those genetics from dad.
 
Congrats again, Cole! It was a helluva time Sunday AM. We were absolutely in the ELK! Thanks again for taking me a long, an experience I\'ll never forget.

I do want to say a special thanks to Cole and Brad for letting me tag along. This season again like most are learning experiences. When we were moving in on the setup that killed Cole\'s bull I thought to myself \"knowing the terrain and ground was key here\". In Brad\'s initial post he talks about us cutting the first herd off, which is exactly what we did. Without him knowing the area, we never get to that position on those elk. I heard Janis Putelis of Meat Eater talk about this on a recent podcast how critical it is to know the area you hunt. It absolutely paid off here.
 
Here are some more pics that Aaron took while Cole and I were doing the gutless method.

How about those Backstraps???? :)






 
A lot of meat on that backstrap, Brad... :D :D

I figure our extended family of 12 could put a big dent in that un in one settin\'... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
Brad,
You and your family are have one heck of a year..... Oh wait a minute.... I think y\'all had a great year last year too! I think I\'m seeing a pattern here! Lol
Congratulations to you and your son!

Good deal Brad. Can\'t wait for my youngest. Only another year. My oldest, in Colorado an plays football for Western Carolina, can\'t hunt because of the damn Game. My youngest told me, \"I am not going to play football because it is during hunting season.\" Yeah.. I\'m proud!!
