My elk hunting partner saw one Sunday afternoon, returning from setting up our camp……….I had the late Lick Creek deer tag last year, saw three. And a couple other sightings during muzzle loading season….only will get worse.

"An overall assessment showed that it was in poor condition. Its teeth were very worn and all four canines had been broken at some point and then worn down. Most of the teeth appeared to have cavities. It weighed approximately 76 pounds. The large 6" gash on its back had started to heal, but still showed signs of infection with pus around the edges and a foul odor. The coat was infested with small insects (possibly mange mites)."
