[QUOTE="Caveman0101, post: 1929888, member: 10852"] I guess to really answer your question if the elk don't leave altogether they will get on little rock ledges, or stay in dark timber on north-facing slopes until dark. Several years ago while bow hunting back in a wilderness area a 5-hour horse ride from the trailhead, some muzz hunters came in. We had been patiently watching a huge herd of elk for days, we just could never get the wind to hold one direction long enough to get in close. We thought we had all the time in the world, but the opening morning of muzz those guys shot a bull out of that herd and it was over. A couple of days later we found part of the herd hanging out below a cliff on a ledge only about 10 yards wide and 30 yards long. After watching them stay there for two days we decided not to hunt them for fear of killing them all on the cliffs. [/QUOTE]
