I travel far every fall to elk hunt, some years I put one on the ground, some years I don't. This was one of the years where I did not. Bulls were very hard to locate this year. I probably went physically harder this year than I ever have previously. Got really close one day, but low clouds/fog let that bull get away. 5 minutes differently, and I'd be posting some photos.
Quarters in the cooler or not, there is nothing I look forward to more than heading west every fall to pursue elk in the back country. Already planning for next year.
Hope every has had or has as much success as I did.
