Was on a lease down near there opening morning that I usually bow hunt and see nobody ever. I started super early, was 6km deep by legal. Elk were acting like it was still the rut, bugling and chasing cows. I shot the first legal bull I saw (smaller 5x5) when he stepped out 40 yards away thinking I bumped the herd, turned out 200 head at least with a couple cranker bulls never even moved after I shot. Had multiple bulls come in to under 100 while breaking down my bull. 2 hours later turned into a war zone, counted 10 shots over the course of a 2-3 hours including a couple within 200 yards. Never saw anyone though. Never heard any wacks either not sure if misses or what. Hope other guys were successful!
Also… couldn’t believe the amount of guys just driving laps on the roads. Saw one truck do a dozen laps of the same area while packing down a ridge.
