The Elk are Here! The Elk are Here!

NEWSFLASH: The elk are in Unit 38. Reports over the weekend and yesterday confirm that there at least two sizable herds in area near Mammoth Gulch as well as a nice size herd in Golden Gate State Park. One of my buddies spotted a gorgeous 6x6 bull with the heard as well as a solo 5x5 near the same area.

Can anyone answer this question - where do the bulls go after the rut? Do they go high? Do they go low? Do they go to Mexico? Where the heck do they go!??

Call Me

The Sceery A1 "Special" cow elk call is so good even I can use it without sounding like a porcupine that just got hit by a lawnmower. Much as I'd love to learn how to use a diaphragm to call, there's just no way its going to happen. I've got a high pallet. The only sound I make with a diaphragm is "Go away, I'm a hunter without a clue. Run!" Check'm out!

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the nice folks at Sceery. They're sending me a replacement rubber mouth piece (the black part of the call) as well as a new catalog. I love great customer service as much as I love great products! Thanks Sceery!!

Remington's 2008 "Load Up on Savings" Promotion

In case you missed the memo, Remington (my bullet of choice) is offering refunds on a whole slew of ammunition. In particular, they're offering a $5 per box (limit of two boxes) refund for their Core-Lokt ammo. I haven't been to Wal-Mart yet to see what the price per box is up to, but I'm guessing that $5 off is a good deal. The savings page is here. The refund form is here.
