Good Luck on your hunt. Hope the weather holds for you. We also have a elk draw McNab Creek, same deal, boat in and quads etc. What do you have for camping? Wall tent or??

Bought a beckel canvas eena tt 14' tent. Used it on one trip and I'm in love. Take literally 10-15 minutes for one guy to set up and is a palace for 3.

I'm spoiled now on wall tents. A woodstove makes everything so much better...!

Well we made it back! Thanks to everyone who gave some info. As it turns out the road has been worked on extensively the last year and we had a clear 10km to work with. It was dense and hard to hunt. The elk weren't calling, and it quickly turned into a 'cover as much ground as possible and bump and shoot' operation. We managed to get a little spiker...

niiiiiice. Congrats. Beauty elk!

shoulder mount?

Got a score on him yet?

I am blown away at the size of this thing. The antlers are getting boiled down right now for euro mount, and they just dwarf my buddies big 6 point rocky mountain elk mounts. It's quite mindboggling how big these creatures are.

Was a crazy hunt. Logistically difficult with a quad and a boat, really thick in there and not very huntable. I feel quite fortunate to have seen this guy slipping through the timber before heading into the thick and nasty.

Thanks for the advice everyone!
