Re: Tuchodi Elk
Our camp was 'near' the Tuchodi and took one 6x6 elk. We saw more cow/calf elk and cow/calf moose than in recent years. We saw several sheep, mainly ewes/lambs with a few small rams. Plenty of goats. No caribou. We only saw a 1/2 dozen bull elk in 2 weeks. Lots of BIG black bears (4 in one day) and we had a grizzly bear encounter - it wanted our elk as bad as we did - it got the gut pile, we got the meat! No wolves seen, heard one. Heard coyotes near camp but suspect a den as it was every night. I would say less game animals overall compared to years past but the ones we did see were up and comers (young ones). Tough hunt as the weather was extremely windy for days and days on end, but thankful for the success we did have.
Tick tock, tick tock...waiting for hunting season...
