Figured I’d start a new thread. Covered like 8 miles today in various places, no elk seen and freshest sign was a day or two old but it is what it is. Talked to a guy who shot a small 7x5 or 6 Monday, his first day ever elk hunting. Came in quietly to a cow call. He said they’ve yet to hear a bugle and everyone they’ve talked to said the same. Told me to not even bother up high but I went to check it out myself and they were right. All the elk sign I’ve found is below 9400’. I’ve got a plan for tomorrow at least but these next 7 days are gonna be a figure it out as I go along and maybe get lucky. Walked up on 30-40” bull moose up high, never knew he was there until he stood up when I was at 20 yards. Saw one bigger than him across the lake from me while I was glassing this evening. Also saw a real nice 4x4 mulie by the road this evening too, wish I had a deer tag lol.
