Please have patience with me to write this, as I'm trying to get it done around lunch/coffee breaks at work and after I put my son to bed........

My partner and I decided to hunt a place that I scouted in past years and I knew had elk in region 4...we would be hiking in camping & hunting from our base camp...we headed up on Sept 8th to hunt the last day and a half of bow only season, & if elk were located, continue hunting into the 6 pt GOS rifle hunt...

So we loaded up our packs and headed up the mountain, seeing somewhat fresh elk sign as we headed up the mountain...we saw sign in our hunting area but nothing super fresh, and after we set up our camp we covered ground looking for sign and sending out location bugles at various intervals as we travelled on the 8th, but got no replies....our plan was to hunt the next day and if we got no responses and/or saw no fresh sign, we'd head back down.....
