Just got back last night. I used my 16 points to help get 3 of us in a group antlerless permits. As of Friday night things seemed pretty BLEAK on our ridge next to Stray Gulch..... . Me and my nephew spent almost all day beating feet in the (where they had been for 4 days) Caribou and Upper Cooke rd. Got back to camp and was told by my brother and other nephew how they had seen lots of elk (some from truck) in an area we were the day before.. So with less than an hour of shooting hours off we go,....l.....I dropped him off and went on down the road thinking it was not light enough for me to see . Went back and picked him up and instead of going back to camp I drove down to show him an area I was in the day before and he sees a cow on the open ridge that I shot with 2 minutes to spare, unfortunately down the hill a bit. We finished on it at about 12 Am
Went down with him the next day and he filled his tag at a much better 3 PM ,so as it goes ...we had herds of them on our ridge Sunday,eh.
