So, I'm sitting here feeling defeated and am wondering what I can do for next year. We're not lazy - we hunt (ie go for a freaking walk!) hard. We get up early, hike - we don't road hunt. We did 5+ miles last Mon w/o even cutting a track. We went up above tree line, well into deep snow - never saw tracks. We went low, nothing.

5 miles is an easy day. I just finished elk hunting 5 days last week in Idaho. I averaged 8 miles a day with a peak of 12 miles one day (with kids in tow). You need to cover more ground. Either the elk are there or they are not. Don't sit and watch unproductive ground.
