I really enjoy seeing kids getting a chance to elk hunt for the first time in a real elk camp, wall tents, wood stoves, etc. I have room for 3 people, I would really like one of the people to be a youth between 13 and 16 yrs. So am thinking there might be some folks who would like to hunt with me this fall? It is too big for my son and I, but I hate to not get things out and use them. This year my hunting buddies for many years form Florida cannot make it out, so I am trying to decide what to do with camp. I AM NOT AN OUTFITTER OR A GUIDE! But, I have been elk hunting for 40 years and have a very nice camp. ![]() Is anyone interested in elk hunting in Idaho? How?

This is my first bull elk with a bow an it was very exciting. He was down 60 yards from where I shot him. Cow called to slow him down, which worked. Placed a good shot when he turned down hill I could see where the arrow went threw. Finished drawing back waited for my next shooting lane and shot. Waited till he started walking got to half draw and he looked again, stood for about 1 min then he moved again. Knocked an arrow tried to raise bow and he was looking right at me. 1 min later he was stepping out where I could see him. Cow called once and heard an animal stand up on my right. I went to his right and sat by a small pine tree. It started out by getting down to the stand where I put Corey. We sat around playing cards and discussing the evening hunt. Called but couldn't stop him, headed back to camp. Caught a nice bull walking up a ridge 60 yards away. Sat in an area and heard a bark, cow called and waited for 1/2 hour. That morning we planned to walk down a draw where we've seen animals before. Each day we were lucky enough to call in an elk, wheather it was a bull or cow. All I had in my hand was a cup of coffee so I watched as he walked down the draw. Moved up the ridge called and within 5 minutes had a 4 x 4 standing 10 yards away. The next Monday the 26th, got up around 5:30 cow called from camp to try to locate but nothing answered. The rest of that week called in 2 more nice bulls with no good shot. I just sat and watched for 1/2 hour, then they walked back down the ridge. Sitting in the stand he came close enough to me, on the uphill side of the stand I could have reached down and touched his antlers. Kept calling, next thing I see is a 5 x 5 coming straight to me. caught a glimpse of a cow moving up the ridge. Monday the 19th got set up in my stand and began cow calling. She had to return to work the next week, so I took her home then went back up to the camp. That was all she was able to see this season. Put Brenda in my tree stand and called in 1 cow. Very few bugles heard the first week, saw 1 nice bull in a clear cut heading for Montana state line while my better half and I were playing cards in camp.
