TN_Chooter: I live about 30 miles from there (air miles!) and spend a lot of time each year near Reservoir Lake.
I saw a huge Bull Elk several years ago near Gold Pass just west of Reservoir Lake.
I Hunted the first seven days of this Rifle season about 25 air miles from Reservoir Lake.
We got 1 5x5 Bull Elk for 4 Hunters.
I also passed on both a 4x4 Elk and a much broken 5x5 Elk that had lost 6 of his 10 points somehow!
He was no longer "legal" but he was cool to look at with stubs everywhere on his "rack".
One of my partners missed a 5x5 Bull Elk in the thick stuff also.
I heard Wolves most every night and heard them on 3 days while Hunting - never saw one, but expect Elk to be WARY!
IF... you have tracking snow try the thick timber near the Bighole Divide to track "secretive" Elk.
Best of luck to you - it was 62 degrees here today but winter storm warnings are coming into effect tomorrow with predictions of 10 inches of snow!
Again best of luck to you and stay mobile.
Hold into the wind
