Gonna be a bust I think. They vocal while in the fld but, nothing after they leave I guess. Just need a calf to make s sound

In his yard but he don't wanna play

are they bugling yet in oregon? or is it a week or so out

Thanks kodiak. You mind saying where this is close too? If not, I understand. Following with interest.

Clatsop county Oregon

I hear bugles in July, not a lot though. Those Bulls the other day coming into the field we're bugling with all the cows. I watch to fight in a field this morning and then the big bull just walked over and looked at them like they were stupid, I guess he knows he would take them out if he wanted to. They ramping up, probably anytime between now and the 10th or 15th. I was getting out of my truck at home at 2:13 and heard one bugle behind the house

I came home from hunting this morning grab the machete and some clippers and went and built a ground blind where the elk came into the field from last night. I'll put my son there tonight, and they'll probably come out where we sat last night, LOL

Waiting on my son to show up and so far the wind is hit me from every direction. Pretty sure it'll be a wash even if they do come by the ground blind, I don't see how he's going to fool that many noses With the Wind swirly

Brother that's beautiful country!
Stay diligent it will pay off!

Wind wrong for hunters ground blind. He sat other end of field and sure'nuf, they came out on the wrong end. I didn't hunt, plan was "if" they came from ground blind, is let them cross river to field and spook to him. Plan worked until wind shifted. They ran for pavement and I ran to keep them in field. After a few 100+ yard wind sprints keeping them in field, they finally crossed into another field. Pretty funny me chasing 60 something elk. They had no clue how to react. Get to work next 2 days so, maybe they back in a few days. Its the only chicory in the valley

Guess I should add that when I crossed the river bridge in truck, 3 cows and a 5x5 were 40ish from me. I didn't try to shoot him but, I did get out of truck and have him stand there about a minute.

Man I hope you tag out on the one your after.

Hopefully I can get one. I wish my son didn't work so many hours we could get him one probably for sure. Some of you may wonder why I ran those elk out, sometimes elk hunting you got to try to make things happen I just tried to make them run to an Escape Route but that already winded in, which is what I expected but he'll be back and we got more land down the street we can hunt so if anything they went down there

Man vs Elk. A great story ,,keep us in the loop!

I think this is what they call chicken of the woods. Got a msg sent to a shrommer

View right now. No fresh sign so jus throwing out a few cow calls

Cemetery herd was in field, 6 bulls in group now. Also caught the elk leaving the chicory field. Giving both herds a break

Not chicken of the woods. I googled it

I think COTW grows on logs. Could be wrong.

Cool pics. Keep em coming.
