I actually managed to spot a few elk this morning, all be it at a distance and while I was in my truck. Spotted the small group twice, once on the drive in, then later after I had gone up and hunted a spot I found a lot of sign a couple days ago I decided to go down and see if I could find where those cows from the morning had gone. Drove out to the clearcut instead of walking since it was a new area to me and sure enough got busted since they were standing on the edge of the reprod in the clearcut. I backed up and parked then went into the reprod to see if I couldn't find them but no luck, lots of sign in there but you couldn't shoot in there if you had to but I still spent a few hours in there trying to locate them. Was down below the snow line so no tracking snow.
In the morning I was up above the snow line but not a track up there, not sure where all the elk had gone that left all the sign the day before last. Still haven't decided if I am going up tomorrow or not, may wait till Monday after the storm breaks a bit. Still might go both days. Decisions decisions
