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.

It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need one and not have it.                                                                             Local 66 sheetmetal workers

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.   :(
