The elk jinx continues

[Dave Pagel]

I am with you Pat.  I have called bulls in for others and passed up some cows I should have taken, but I am still at zip.  However elk hunting is still my favorite.  I just got back from southern Colorado and did not hear a single bugle.  The closest I got to a bull was about 100 yards and they were not responding to anything.  A biologist in the area thinks that the drought (worst in 65 years) has the cows systems in stress and they are not having normal estrus cycles.  It was the strangest elk hunt I have ever experienced. I need to get back to the Hoback!
