Default Elk


I've hunted just about every Big game animal in North america and i would have to say that the thrill of a grizzly hunt tops all, however I really enjoy Elk hunting because of the sounds they make. Nothing compares to hearing an Elk bugle on a crisp morning.

Default Turkey Hunting May be the Prince

My two most exciting hunts ever. 1. I called in a world class eastern gobbler but did not even get a clear shot. He presented one time and I wasn't ready. He was so magnificent and so close I could not get my head together to make the shot. 2. The next spring I called the Grand Dad and his son and his grandson in to the same spot. They converged for a battle. I was calling for a friend and he had only one tag and I was just calling. He killed the son who had a 11 plus 1/2 inch beard. His spurs were 1 and 1/4. The Grand Dad cruised in after the shooting was over just like he had no idea what was going on. I could have nailed him that morning but did not have a tag. I cried that morning. Sad the son died and sad I might not get to see the Grand Dad again. I never saw him again after that. I hunted that old Grand Dad 3 seasons and never got him. I saw him several times, at a distance he looked like a prehistoric giant and walked like a man. Up close his druming would push your ear drums in, you could feel the pressure. When he gobbled at 15 yards I could feel my chest vibrating. I love hunting and I do a lot of it. That old bird gave me more thrills than any other animal I pursued.

I also like Elk hunting a big bull in Rut and calling bulls when they are fired up is hard to beat.

Your area there reminds me of my new home. We moved to Salida, CO about three years ago. Your grassy area around the house looks a lot like the terrain around here. I have not hunted turkey since moving here but we have Merriams like you do.
