Before going to bed, get on your knees and pray for snow!!
I heard a report last year that said we have lost 50% of the Winston herd each year for the past four due to hoof rot. It's getting tough out there for sure. Snow will up your chances ten fold. But if it doesn't come just be persistent. It's still a rather good hunt. I always stay at Kid Valley and come in from there. We saw a lot of sign yesterday, but did not see any elk.
Good Luck!
