Yep they do close Hwy 13 near the sawmill hay fields, I think 2005-2006 talked with game warden at the base of black mountain turnoff, 1800 elk crossed there the day before, all traffic was stopped untill all elk crossed.

Below is a pic of just a few of the elk that congregate in the fields south of 18N every year, a mile or so east of Ralph White lake. We've estimated 1500-2000 a couple different years. Those fields are the first thing we check when we get in the area - if the migration is really on, the elk are there. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/81153038857-R1-003-0.jpg)

Try Elkhorn Outfitters. They are just north of Craig and run a great hunt.

There's an annual elk migration north of Boise, ID that killed about 80 elk 10 years ago. Normally they cross Mores Creek at low water. However, that year work was being done upstream on Arrowrock Dam on the Boise River and they had it drained down. The water was being stored downstream behind Lucky Peak Dam and that pushed water up Mores creek to make it a back water instead of just a creek. When the elk crossed the ice, they bunched up and it broke. About 80 drowned while people watched, unable to do a thing about it.

I live in Craig and that closing 13 bullshit is just that, bullshit.
Stopping traffic to let some animals cross is not the same as closing a state highway. No different than stopping traffic for moving sheep or cattle.
Flatlander rumors.

The picture posted earlier of the elk crossing in town is not Estes Park. It is at the intersection below the dam in Evergreen.

F&G shooters on the hill above shooting the drowning elk. They killed a whole bunch of them, bulls, cows, and calves. What a waste! L.W.

Yeah, with those coordinates you too can become a hunting superstar. Just like Don Lewis the Wildlife Serial Killer.
