    What do y’all do when the elk are just too high up?

    This is what part of the herd looked like from my porch 5.5 miles away. It gives some perspective on how steep the terrain is. The meadows, while steep, are relatively smooth. The avalanche chutes are the game changers.

    What do y’all do when the elk are just too high up?

    The party was over when that elk hit the ground huh? I imagine that it was one hell of a packout. How many trips, and how far to a vehicle? Going back to the comment that gaining 2000 feet is a 1-2 hour affair, coming in from above probably is the best strategy, but to make that happen it's...

    I am not an elk hunter. I am in elk country vacationing and doing some hiking, biking and wildlife watching. How would you make your approach to the elk on the red X?

    What do y’all do when the elk are just too high up?

    Best I can figure, they call the upper reaches of this mountain home. It is the perfect environment for them. A nice balance of meadows and spruce cover. Great lookout points and escape routes. What it looks like on a topo doesn't give a good account of the challenges the avalanche chutes...

    What do y’all do when the elk are just too high up?

    That is indeed an impressive level of fitness. There are no stairs here though. And I am assuming that you'd be carrying hunting gear. The avalanche chutes have some sheer walls in them. There's a reason these elk are safe. There are hiking trails on nearly every mountain in this area...

    These elk are safe from you and everyone else.

    I'd pay you 1000 bucks if you could cover the 2K I mentioned earlier in 2 hours.

    What do y’all do when the elk are just too high up?

    I was at 9200' today looking at a herd of elk at about 10,800. 5 bulls. There is NO getting to these elk. The terrain is impossibly steep.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Order from these guys. No tax charged to out of state residents. I have used them several times an they are very good. Find a good local FFL. A small FFL is much more likely to try to help you than a big box. I did the "Email For Price." It's $763...

    Grey Market Optics from eBay

    I use ebay on a regular basis. Often, when you buy from ebay, you are buying from a small brick and mortar store. I like ebay's search and filter system much better than Amazons. They are also great for odds and ends. Yesterday I needed a white paint pen. I could have driven all over...

    Diamox is worth trying. He may only need to take it for a day or two.

    Making the Most of Two Free Days Near Anchorage, AK?

    I enjoy driving down to Turnigan Arm. With Binos, you can see some good stuff out on the water and up on the mountains. You can see some moose on occasion too. While you are down that way take the tram at Girdwood. Kincaid Park has some good hiking trails and bear and moose sightings are...
