No Horns and No feathers. I had a chance to hike into the spot I have hunted over the years and hunt for four days. The elk had been at head of the drainage I like to hunt sometime before I arrived. The sign in and use of the area was less apparent than other years. The wind was more constant and would have been easier to work with if the elk had been there. I did hear a couple of bugles from a hole that was off limits to me. I did not see as many grouse either. I spent some time sitting uphill, with the wind in my favor, of a couple of wallows with good trails coming to them.
Wallow 18-20yrds down slope.
I also worked my way into a couple of other drainages and did some bugling - all was quite.
Packing Out.
On the way out I sat and looked out over some of the country I have been hunting over the years.
Maybe the sundog was showing me where the elk were?
