Outfitter Report: 2008 Idaho Wilderness Elk

This nice 300 class bull elk was tagged last week by one of our hunters. The hunt this year was extremely tough and we had to pull out all the stops to plan a spot and stalk. I was able to get into the area about 1.5-2 hours ahead of our hunters to test the wind and find the herd. As luck turned our way the elk began moving toward the creek below us and a few small openings presented shot opportunities. Due to some last minute changes and set up issues the hunter wound up using me for a rifle rest and I was not able to get the shot on video. I am very bummed as it was a perfect set up for video.
