This trip will be very difficult. Before you even think about the hunting aspect, please have all your gear in order. I mean starting from your feet. Boots are critical. Make sure all your gear is up to snuff for this or it will not be a fun camping trip.
Heard 2 shots. Couldn't get a shot for my wife at at 5*5 in dark timber. He was surrounded by cows.
Minimal bugling and probably 30% elk population of what I am used to. It was bad.
At am altitude above 5000 the 127 gr lrx has an energy over 1000 all the way to 600. Why people still think they should carry bazookas in woods all the time, is beyond me.
