Elk Photos from the 2001 hunt Unusual elk hunt this year.
Almost every hunter had a chance at a bull, many of them at really big
trophy bulls, and many of them came away empty. We saw more big trophy
bulls and had less to show for it than any elk hunt we can remember.
We still killed some good ones, but not near as many as we are used to
killing. That is actually better for the ones coming in 2002, as
those bulls will be bigger next year. Get a complete Success
Report of every hunter we had at camp.

| John Gray, Jr and son John Gray III, CA (530)898-0232 Son John killed a big 5 point bull on the third day. Ran it down in the timber. Dad John had a fairly easy shot at a spike, but his firing pin froze up and didn’t fire. He also missed some long shots at a couple of bulls and was within 2 seconds of killing a bull at 35 yards. The bull turned and went just as he brought his gun up. Could have shot it in the rear, but wisely chose not to. “Sparky is a great guide!” Click here to see full size. | |
| Chris Mooney, NY (914)738-6098 Killed a 4 point bull at daylight
on the first morning of his hunt. “I arrived in the camp to find
it one of the best equipped, most comfortable outfits I’ve seen in 2 decades
of hunting. I would highly recommend this outfit and would use it
again readily.” Tom guide.
