Heading over this weekend to hunt for five days. Can't wait to check the cams. Two week soak. Going to hit it hard, hopefully will have a success story or two! Good luck to everyone on your upcoming seasons!
I hope to get out there on Monday - maybe I'll run into you.

As cool as it is hunting up high in that ground, don't overlook the low elevation ground. There are lots of elk that never leave the bottom. :twocents:
My legs are telling me that I should find some lower, flatter ground to hunt.

good luck

I'm driving a White Silverado, if you see me flag me down and I can point you to some areas where you'll likely to find cows.
I'll be up near salmon la sac

I saw one cow but had to pass on the shot because she was near a campground. Not a safe shot. That was early am. Spent the rest of the day getting a good sunburn and messing up my ankle.
Back up Sunday and the weather was cooler but checking the game cams showed the elk were still only moving at night. They seem to be very happy in the thick cover around the high mountain meadows. I spent the day hunting above 4500’ found lots of fresh sign but no animals. Hard place to hunt, there could be a herd of elephants 25 yards away and you’d never see them.
Monday morning was downright cold, big weather change. I spent a few hours in my tree stand down around 2500’ elevation. My thought being the cooler weather would get them moving around. I did get a cow and calf to walk by the stand but I passed. Cows with calves are on my no shoot list.
So I still haven’t filled my tag. Will be back at it when work and family commitments allow.

Sounds a heck of a lot better than all the not hunting elk I have been doing. Good luck with the rest of the season, what day does the tag run out?
Thanks, the tag's good through Sept. 9th.

Good to see elk moving around in the daylight. When were these taken?

Hunted for at least 1 1/2 weeks for a cow. I have not seen a cow since the first day we hunted. We have seen Bulls, nice bucks etc. Hoping the Bulls start rounding up the cows. Has anyone seen any cows? Not on private land? Hoping to get back over there for the last couple of days.I sure hope to have your same problem with my bull tag over there come Saturday :chuckle:

Had the same problem on Friday. The bugle was in full swing and it was easy to find bulls but none of them had any cows with them. I ended up eating this permit but it was well worth the 6 points.
