Packing out an elk

The Friday the 13th Bull

After three years of hard elk hunting and only coming home with tag soup, I finally broke my dry spell. I had to lower his standards as things had changed in my hunting area, but we’re sure it felt good to have some success.

Growing up, September was the month I lived for.

Elk hunting is just plain fun, and I’d gotten pretty spoiled with some awesome elk hunting here in Idaho. Over the years I have shot my fair shares of nice bulls, but things have changed… and three years of Tag Soup hadn’t gone down very easy for me. I wasn’t used to it and I didn’t like it very much. I’d had opportunities at elk, but I had been holding out for mature bulls.

“My standards had risen over time, and last year I decided it was time to break that dry spell. Friday the 13th turned out to be my lucky day.” – Cory Glauner

My hunt was absolutely top notch.

The outfitter is a fantastic man and incredibly hard working and knowledgeable, there is no doubt he will do everything within his power to make peoples hunts successful and enjoyable. I plan to do it again with him next year for sure.

Our hunt was excellent.

We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!

The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
