When you find one, can you let irfubar know? He could really use some help.
Spent 7 days in the Bob Marshal 3 yrs ago with a top outfitter.... saw 1 elk... in 7 days... couldn't even blame that on my lack of hunting skill, I followed the guide around
Wolves ate them all...couldn't be the early rut rifle hunt for anyone with a general elk tag though.
30 miles in there were very few local general tag holders... they can't seem to hike that far
There used to be all kinds of locals that hunted it, before Montana's population ballooned to a million thanks to a bunch of out of stater's moving in.
It's neat country and a shame what the way the outfitters and MTFWP allowed it to be exploited for profit.
You should have saved some money and just did a summer pack trip.
