That IS a good question. I often wonder that myself. And, currently I do not know the answer. If I did, I would know where to hunt next weekend. My best guess is the elk are in the woods.   :chuckle:

The elk have a big home.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

My daughter and I had 7 elk come in at last night tonight to within about 20 yards.  Unfortunately we needed a buck not a bull.   :(

The elk are where you actually have to get OUT of the truck, and HIKE back into the woods. 
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I have hiked and stood over draws looking all day for two days now. I have seen nothing. This is strange, as I have hardly gone a day for many, many years with out seeing any. I usually have a hard time keeping count! not this year, 0! It is still a ton of fun!
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!
