[QUOTE="25 Otter, post: 559878, member: 26801"] Well,I just got back from unit 67. Porcupine Gulch to the Old Agency was the bulk of our hunting. We were standing around camp one evening and I mentioned I thought it would be good to close the trails 200 yds off the main road. I got every kind of response from the 5 other fellas in camp. Now don't get me wrong,I'm asthmatic and 49. A flat lander to boot. I would be one of the ones to benefit the most from ATV access. My thoughts were with a little less pressure,maybe the elk would be more prone to bugle. We had to get up around 10,500 to 11,000 ft to find vocal elk. The few we encountered down between 9,000 and 10,000 would sneak in down wind for a look,then bust and run. Seems they have adapted like our eastern wild turkey. Every time they open their mouth, someone is calling to them or shooting at them. The bulls (3) up higher we worked were classic elk hunting. I personally didn't score,but another fella in camp managed a 4 X 5 Monday in the sleet and snow we were lucky to have. Hot and dry otherwise. Another side note. The road up on Porcupine sucked! Very few hunters back at the gulch the first couple days. We walked in for a mile ourselves. I guess they didn't like the rough ride,so they hunted someplace else. I personally liked the solitude. Just an observation on my part. No harm intended. [/QUOTE]
