Went out again yesterday, scouted about 4 miles from where I saw the bulls a few weeks ago. I didn't want to pushthem out of there. This other drainage looks promising also. Fresh tracks and scat everywhere, located some great funnels, set up a cam.
When do you think it's safe to assume these are local elk and will be here through the summer? There really low I would think they might migrate up higher but I guess with the food, water and lack of pressure why would they? Bugs were out, and still a little snow on the sorounding peaks. Side note highest peak within 20 miles is prob 4500.
