I did meet the two guys who owned the first truck I mentioned.  They are camping in a pup tent up there!  Nuts!  Stopped by their fire and made my own coffee before coming down.

LOL...I know that guy.  He came down eventually VERY wet with his tag still in hand.
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

I was up there Saturday.  Drove up to the top of Divide Ridge and hiked down into a bowl and sat on it until about 1:00. It was snowing in the morning.  Chained up all four to get up there but it was fun.  Then the freezing rain, wind and fog set in.  Built a fire overlooking the bowl but never saw an elk.  :dunno:

Sunday I drove the wife around town looking longingly at the blue skies and clear mountains I could see in the distance.   :bash:

Today I was back up on top and checked out a few good meadows and bowls.  Still NO ELK!  On the bright side, I drove my quad up the ramps and into my back window! :bdid: :'(. Sat up there til dark tonight but still no elk.  I think this rain and wind has them holed up in the thick timber.

Ya its been about the same for my Rimrock adventure no bulls. However I did have 16 cows and a spike at 15 yards the general season opener. Let him walk been second guessing myself eversince. Hang in there still 5 days left.

I did the same thing one time, blasted the whole window out.....never load your quad after drinking beer!  One of my lessons learned. 

Keep at the elk, I hunted archery season and they are in there, just back in the nasy thick blow down.
