Hmmm,,,,, saw many elk. Two small groups hung around ( 30-40 animals each). Saw two really nice bulls. Naturally day before second rifle started. My season lasted about 7 hours opening day. Matter of fact old son was trying to get a deer and several cows nearly stepped on him,,,,,,, twice.
We were hunting family ranch so I think they were kinda hiding out on the place. Happens often. I know this is atypical for most hunts. Just thought I'd throw it out. I will admit I was sweating when I shot my bull. Young son shot his bull out of same group about 5 minutes earlier!! Wasn't the choicest of weather. Ranch is about 8700' alt.
