Camp is set, and the hunt is on. So far I'm having trouble locating the elk. The spots that held so many when I was here in August seem like the elk have recently been pushed out. Lots of droppings that seem to be a week or so old. But very little fresh. They likely have been pushed into different areas. Hopefully they haven't gone too far and I can get on them again soon.

I have been seeing lots of deer and moose. This morning I had 2 young bulls on the road right by camp when I pulled in. Parked at the tent and gave a couple of cow moose calls and they walked right to me. Seven yards!  Got some good pictures, but the phone was in the truck so you'll have to wait to see them.

Hope to report back with better news on the elk soon. The good news is that I have plenty of time to locate them.

Good luck Joe, I will be monitoring this thread closely!!!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Ok Joe, I know what I did to get the first pic bigger.  That is as big as they are going to be.

Find those elk!

Good luck and safe travels.  Looking forward to some stories.

Still struggling on finding where the elk are. I did have a bull bugle 5-6 times last night. This morning I heard one bugle and spooked one elk while headed back toward the truck. Did find a really nice wallow that was freshly used. Had found a number of other ones in the past couple of days, but this is the first one that shows recent activity. Definately worth spending an afternoon sitting on this one.

Whipster,

I'll be looking to dig this one up after I get back from CO.  Leaving Thurs morning.

Good luck...I know you'll find a way big fella.
