Too bad we can't hunt most of that.

You gotta hike in to heart lake in September. We did the seven lakes basin loop and the first night there were 100+ head of elk rutting all night long. We could hear antlers crashing and bugling the whole time. It was killer

Nice work with the camera!  Impressive photos.

Yep I agree!  Nice job on the photos.  I wish I was motivated enough to get up there hiking!

Mind sharing a little more about where abouts you hiked? Assuming its all in the park so I don't suspect the location is to be kept secret.
