[QUOTE="tjbill, post: 404315, member: 5502"] My only addition to what Geargrinder said is that it sounds like you guys are in pretty good shape and that will help alot! I would start looking from about 9K feet and up or 1+ miles off the road. Unless you get some weather those big bulls are going to stay at the very tops of those ridges or away from the roads. We saw a couple of really nice bulls above the end of a campground road at about 10,500, but just couldn't get my dad to them. Most of the big bulls we saw last year were away from the roads. Go over the top of Kalamazoo Pass and pull off at the first big switchback and glass all of that open country. There were some nice bulls, including one in the 350 class on those finger ridges, but again, Pops just isn't that mobile. If you only have one elk tag and can get 2 or 3 able bodied budies (suckers) to come along, you can do without the pack animals. Brush up on the long range game as there are LOTS of opportunities for long shots. My dad shot his mule deer two years ago at 720 and he could of taken a nice whaletail 6 point bull this year at a little over a grand if he was comfortable. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
