Little Red Wagon · « **Reply #5 on:** February 08, 2011, 03:47:47 PM »

i only seen one 6 x 6 and a true spike. and he had about 10 or so cows with him. he was about 3 ridges over. i didnt see big foot tho.

Wow, a spike survived.

Unless of course he migrated there from the Blues.

you wont see a big foot up in the clockum unless its a decoy in a photo shoot. its very possable the elk were all congregated at a lucious food source just out of your field of view. look behind the trees, thier is usually an elk behind each one.

Woodchuck · « **Reply #8 on:** February 08, 2011, 04:06:04 PM »

Shoot, a6x6, a spike and 20 cows, must have only looked behind 1 tree

Woodchuck · « **Reply #21 on:** February 09, 2011, 11:03:45 AM »

I meant wagon burner, you have to know I havn't seen any as I am sure you already know

C-Money · « **Reply #22 on:** February 09, 2011, 11:10:59 AM »

I am looking forward to riding the Colockum this weekend. Hope to bring back some pictures. Wagon Burner, if you look a few threads on here with Pathfinder or Colockumelk in the title, you too will soon be saying "There are NO elk in the Colockum!"

woodywsu · « **Reply #23 on:** February 09, 2011, 11:33:24 AM »

I know the elk in the Colockum are still being "harvested" from tribes. I know of a 5x5 bull that was killed on Sat/Sun.

Woodchuck · « **Reply #24 on:** February 09, 2011, 11:51:54 AM »

C-Money · « **Reply #26 on:** February 10, 2011, 02:58:48 PM »

We are going up on the e-burg side. Looking forward to it! First ride if the new year!

Little Red Wagon · « **Reply #27 on:** February 11, 2011, 11:00:14 AM »

if you make it down the bruten and keep heading towards the west bar. there was a dead calf of the side of the road looks like the winter was to hard on it. but there is a bunch of eagles that sit around it would make for a good pic of the birds.

C-Money · « **Reply #28 on:** February 14, 2011, 06:41:42 AM »

Well, we had a great time being out doors. Glad we were able to ride. My favorite spot this time of year was gated with a nice sign saying closed to motorized vehicles to protect wintering wildlife. Feb 1 to April 30. We went some where els and saw 4 elk, one with a collar on. No Bigfoot. Lots of wind!

Woodchuck · « **Reply #29 on:** February 14, 2011, 06:44:02 AM »

Must have only checked behind one tree

Sounds like fun. any pics?

C-Money · « **Reply #30 on:** February 14, 2011, 10:00:20 AM »

You know, I did not take a single pic. I had the camera with me, but no photo shooten. And yes, it was a lot of fun. Sure helped cabin fever!. We only rode 37 miles, but it felt like a full day. We saw the smoke from the White Swan fire, and looking east out accross the basin was just a dusty mess!
