I took everyone’s advise and got up on top of a ridge and just glassed and glasses. I managed to spot 5 cow elk, 8 mule deer and a moose. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to catch up with the elk they are definitely in better shape then I am. Mabey next weekend. I still haven’t heard one bugle. Mabey there isn’t a bull in the area I keep patrolling or they just haven’t started talking yet.
