No I have not been back out yet, but plan on it as soon as I possibly can! Head this direction and lets give them Elk a run for their money that would be great fun!

I agree but disagree. I have seen it happen both ways many times. The last few years I have hunted both places that get heavy traffic of hunters and those that do not. The areas with easy access and therefore people, tend to act the way you described....come the season, the elk are not where they were.
On the other hand the areas that were tough to get to and remote, I find the elk exactly where I saw them early in the season. I think people/pressure have a huge impact on that.
Thanks for the tip though, it just so happens where I saw this big boy, is also where I found rubs and lots of other elk sign.
