Been covering quite a bit of ground looking for sign. Went out at midnight last night when the wind finally died Dow hoping to hear a bugle or 2. No luck...

 

Today, I found my first sign elk have been in the area. An old rub, followed by week old crap and tracks from the rain a few days ago. As I was moving with the tracks I topped a ridge and heard a bunch of dogs. A few mins later 2 trucks drive by 150 yards from me. Another f-ing road. Ugh!! That road isn't on the map so I took it to see if it would take me to the top. An hr later the trucks come back. They treed a bear, but wasn't big enough to shoot.

At this point, I'm 2.8 miles from my quad and start heading back.

I'm going to find a vantage point tonight to glass from. My legs are already exhausted.

Big country eh?

Yes, big country!

Got up extra early this morning hoping to hear a bugle. Made the 1.4 mile hike to a nice ridge that overlooks 3 canyons. Haven't heard anything yet and the wind is starting to pick up. Here are some pics I shot yesterday.

just curious how did your hunt end up.
