Ice and snow have melted in the areas I'm hunting........  but

We were camping at 2400' hoping for some tracking snow as critters are really scarce----

We bailed out for a couple days, 40 knot wind gusts, thunderstorms, hail, 4 inches of rain in three days and a tornado in SW WA.

Call me a wimp....
and ELK season ends on the 15th 
Keep 'em Straight!!! (and quiet)

Yeah, with the likely weather I might get skunked his year.  We've seen elk but really tough to even see in this nasty weather.
