I've never hunted late season before, but I'll be picking a spot & heading over to the dry side.

seen 11 today but wasn't able to get in range before they busted us.
Some animals WERE harmed in the making of this Hunter. They were also dragged through the dirt, butchered and tasted delicious fried with butter and bacon.

I'm trying in 101 with my longbow, found lots of sign 2 weeks ago, nothing since. Musta moved when the snow came in.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

Way wrong.  :).  I finally had to chase the snow up to about 4400' and guess what I found there?  Elk...in the crunchy white stuff.  I had a good setup going on Saturday night.  Elk above me on a bench about 100 yards up...clearing in front of me with very well used tracks all headed one direction...daylight ending and critters starting to move.  Wind was right, everything was right...except for the jackwagons who started popping off rounds down in the drainage below me at 3:45 and didn't stop until dark.  Guess what direction those elk didn't go?  And thus ended my season.   :bash:

But yeah, they were still up high.

It did indeed snow enough to push elk down. Seen about 100 head hanging out the past two days in northeastern 364.

I hunted up there on Tuesday, saw lots of deer and elk tracks south of goose egg mountain, and a wolf track too!!!

Found a small group of 9 including a nice bull in 101. Only issue was I was coyote hunting and my bow was in my truck a half mile away and it was sunset. Let's see if the grainy camera picture will load...
