Elk will often return to higher ground, but deer usually will not.

I was up glassing sat afternoon and saw some cows at 96-9800. Just under the cloud/fog ceiling. Still looking for a buck for the wife. SW CO

Well I guess I just suck at glassing then.
Nice work!
We saw tracks, just never saw the animals making them. Was that guy chasing ladies around up there?

He was with a few does and a smaller buck, but it didn't seem like he was really rutting. I ran into him in a meadow that we knew they had been using for forage, got lucky he was mature. Saw a few forkies and passed on them.

Hunted unit ** this last weekend. Managed to harvest a nice 3x4. Saw 5 bucks before taking him. He was the only one with does.
It's insane the number of knucklehead road hunters hopping from pullout to pullout with their spotting scopes.

Don't post about specific units please. Road hunters that might have gone elsewhere might be enticed by seeing six bucks on a hunt.

Drop the unit number man, or you will have even more knuckleheads in the future and a harder time getting that tag

Now that the unit number is gone let’s see that 3x4!

Saw several smaller bucks, 1 doe and 8 elk moving this morning at 7800 feet.

Gonna get one last crack at it tomorrow afternoon have a drainage with 10-20 does that hang in it, hopefully a buck will have shown up then
