Got into an area I usually hit for elk and it didn't disappoint... Rubs everywhere, trails, usual... Saw quite a few elk in here... Jumped a spike at 20 yards on opening day... Cow called, he stopped about 70 yards with a cluster of small trees blocking his chest then the cow down hill of me, 10 yards in the timber barked and the forest exploded in the sounds of hoofs and I can feel the ground rumble... Walked into the middle of a large herd... Never got shot at the spike and only saw glimpses of a bunch of elk... I will be back here next year unless I can get into Nasty Creek...
