[QUOTE="shamu2240, post: 1977490, member: 87202"] UPDATE.....So we had an amazing time on the trip. I'd have to say that this has been one of the toughest hunts I have ever been on. Really high heat, very little water and lots of trail closures due to fires really put a damper on the hunt. Plus my buddy got hurt on day one, not bad, but wasn't going to be climbing up and down the mountains. So unfortunately he made the decision to head home. That really put a damper on how far I was willing to go to find elk. The only place I found any sign worth mentioning was at around 6000 ft at water, it was 85 plus every day all day. Other than that everything was very old. I think I really needed to get back into the high mountain lake areas, which were just too far for me going solo/trail closures cut me off from them. As always I learned a good deal about hunting elk and how tough and challenging it really is. I didn't even see an elk on this trip. This will be my third year hunting elk and haven't been able to connect yet. I think a lot of it has to do with me having to hunt out of state, for elk, and finding time/hunt dates to coincide with that is tough, which is why I bounce around to different states, especially when other people are involved. Part fun part frustration, but in the end I just want to be in the woods.
