And the zero calf crop which I have been seeing the last couple years, sure makes it hard to find a spike. One or two more years of miss management and those herds won’t be able to bounce back.

Much like the NCW mule deer.

You’ve killed a half dozen big bulls in the Dayton unit in the last century...and none of those kill locations have elk/sign??

Dvolmer,
Hang in there.
In 2009 I had a tucannon bull tag and a similar weather scenario. First night of the hunt we got a dump of over a foot of snow. Didn't see any elk the next day in the waning snow storm (didn't see any the first day either). I ended up taking a 6x6 on the smallish side maybe 290 to 300 class on the evening of Saturday the first day of general elk season.
It only takes one bull to have it come together. Tomorrow morning with pressure elk will be moving.Be in prime bull spots glassing at daylight and also right before dark. Best of luck!  :tup:
