On this hunt Melissa and some close friends score some highly coveted bull elk tags and hit their territory at the peak of the rut. The bulls come trotting and screaming at almost every call, as the morning silence is pierced with the music of dynamite elk country. Melissa was invited on this trip of a lifetime by an old college buddy, Ryan McReath, who actually guided elk himself out west for several years after graduation. On this trip Melissa decided to film everyone's hunt, and she ends up with some incredible footage of seven different bulls, truly one of the most remarkable hunts of her life. Securing a bull elk tag for this area is tough enough, but to then hit it at the peak of the rut is the true definition of a plan coming together in spades. Not only is the elk hunting over the top, but Melissa and Ryan enjoy an awesome opportunity to catch up on things while hunting together for the first time since they left their alma mater.
