[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2242926, member: 2939"] I learned as a young lad to only shoot elk up hill from the road! :) Packing out elk pieces at a time just sucks. So I don't even look down hill or if I hike to far away from a road or it's just miserable terrain I just turn around. Kinda like cutting down trees for fire wood. you only look up hill from the road. Most of that area is sage brush. I lived in Twin Falls and a native northern Idaho boy. I've been a 270 person since I was about 12. I think that I was in 7th grade when I got my first bull elk. I kinda belong to the road hunters of America. Just go out cruising the back roads and and quite often in open or semi open country you will see a herd of elk moving out across the terrain a couple of miles away probably from people pressure during hunting season. I get out and glass them to see where they are headed. I've been able to pull out a BLM map and figure out how to get to far side of them. I've even driven around the the turn on forrest service roads and have the herd standing in the road looking at me. I've seen trophy elk just out quading during bird or deer season because it's not often that you can get a tag anymore. [/QUOTE]
