24 Hour Campfire: While waiting for the Pa elk, view this 2 min video from Glacier NP, Montana, and view Logan's pass... two most popular hiking trails there, the Hidden lake trail and the Highline trail. On these hikes you should see many mountain goats and bighorn rams, and if lucky a grizzly on the Highline Trail. You will be amazed at the opportunity to see mountain wildlife up close... but keep a safe distance ( at least 25 feet for sheep & goats) as they are still wild and unpredictable. But sometime you will be unable to keep that safe distance, at least I did, but try...especially with grizzlies... 100 yds. You tube will have some great videos on hiking in the park. https://www.nps.gov/media/video/vie...gn=experience_more&utm_content=small Here is a 7 min video that will show you 6 hikes in Glacier NP, just to give you a taste of what you can and may see there. Enjoy ! HH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22HYOZopcS8 Video by Garrett Galvan Hope no elk viewers are upset, just a break from elk viewing ! HH

That bull at 20:21 was quiet, just feeding and then gone quickly. Active sightings... in just a short time. Where are the big boys ! : ) HH

A nicer small buck, and a couple does!
I'm wondering what's planted in the field, besides clover?
It looks a little on the coarse side!
Wondering if the Game Commission planted a certain kind of feed grass, or maybe some sort of Brasicus in the field.
Cant tell!

6:36pm 9/29/21 Folks: I have been on the elk viewing field several days now... early morning and early & later in the evening and have not see any elk. I have heard them in the distance bugling, but no sightings. Have any of you other viewers been seeing them ??? HH : ) ps: Missing the wild wiley wapiti. Really missing the sparring of the bulls. I might be forced to view my earlier video.... Valley of the Kings ! Scott Armstrong video maker. HH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A76JfZew0Zg Valley of the Kings

logged on but my connection wouldn't load. Each time I've been on lately it's been slow. Glad you're seeing some action.

Rong : I just got lucky tonight to see him. I have been on many mornings and evenings, all better times to see them, and have only been seeing a few deer recently. I seldom see a elk walk the road, but this fellow took a long walk in and back out when he left the two cows. Keep the faith...they do pop up and appear at times. HH

7:09 am 10/1/21 Big Bull just walked down the road, in the left side field now . 4 deer where out in the field already feeding As I turned on the Cam, I heard a bull bugling at 7:02 am but never saw him. This cooler weather always bumps up the activity of the elk it seems.
7:20am the big bull is back in the field just walking through approaching the apple grove, then at 7:23am he is on the road walking away from the camera's view into the fog. 7:30am crows are cawing, but only distant bugles are heard. Nice morning viewing ! Hope some of you viewers saw it also. : )
Check out Youtube for a lot of great elk hunting videos from Idaho. I just spent 2 hours in Idaho elk hunting on You Tube with Top Priority. HH

18:53 10/1/21 Three does by apple trees. 18:56 2 bucks feeding also. Seems like they are getting a little different camera view of things this evening closer to and behind the floodlight pole, where the two bucks came from. HH

Yeah, 6;23, still there!
Pretty Cool!
Another Bull entered the field, and Bugled, @6;27, The first Bull looked back, and then got up at 6;29, Both are feeding, and the second bull is bugling a second time,6;32, a few deer moved into the field!
A 3 rd bugle, and I feel slowly that a scuffle will break out!
