What trail head are you going in from?
Are you hunting deer or elk?

My dad was killed in an auto accident driving back from scouting up in the Caps for our hunt :'(
Anyways, we will still be going in to the Caps for the hunt. Not only because that would be what my dad would want me to do but also because he had dropped off 2 trail cams while he was out there.
We are going with Del Sol Outfitters, doing an Archery hunt. Now just 2 of us.
Thank you for the words of encouragement and the pics. I was able to obtain his digital camera and written notes that he had taken while out scouting. Some great photos of gorgeous country and he had seen a herd of 25-30 elk.

As for this 2014 trip we came back without meat. But lots of memories and I even was able to recover one of the trail cams my dad had set up. Pretty crazy to find it out there. Like I had mentioned I was able to get some notes on the location and happened across it. Some pics on it but nothing major.
I did get a shot on a nice little 5x5 but the shot was low. Closest I had ever come to getting an arrow into a big game animal so to say the least it was exciting.
That country out there is breathtaking! I would highly recommend doing it if possible.
For a follow up as well, we went back out the next year (2015) and my hunting partner was able to arrow a nice bull. I think it was a 6x6. Best part was, he shot him about 100 yards off the trail. We carried the meat to the trail so the ponies could come pick it up.
I would go back yearly if the budget could afford it. The price is not cheap but the memories of chasing bugling elk is something you cannot put a price tag on. Hopefully I can get back out there.
Oh, and the Del Sol Outfitters is a quality group. Nothing but good things to say about them.
Thanks for reading and sorry again for the delay.
