well, no elk for me this year. but i had an awsome time except sleeping and hiking around for a week on a pinched sciatic nerve.

saw ALOT of elk, but being alone i couldnt glass the running herds and look down my rifle at thesame time so i missed a few shots i am sure, i couldnt identify a true spike at all so i chose to keep the finger off the trigger.
I almost got trampled by 6 to 8 cow elk running from my inlaws in the next ravine over though lol!
they came storming over the bank and i was like 20 feet down it going up, ducking behind a small tree i nearly crapped myself, none were Bulls so i only scoped them too after they nearly killed me.
I was already paranoid over seing Cat tracks when there WASNT any there on my way down Little carabou old road to the valley passed the red dot sign at the point..
we camped just before the water troff toward the end hoping to see the herds come back up the hill from the opening day stampede off the mountain lol
no bulls or spikes to be seen around there.
Got home to read a PM saying to call, sorry i didnt get the pm in time. Maybe next season i will be able to take you up on the offer, Thanks anyway spur_ride .
we drove all over the hill looking for elk after not seeing any and getting tired of hiking. tried to locate the herds and walk in after some, but nothing.
saw a few solo bulls, a 5x6 and a huge mulie Buck and a few white tail bucks. but no dinner spike elks to be found anywhere.
