[QUOTE="Bob S., post: 12921, member: 2927"] Sorry to here about the lack of success. I have guided in the past and know how disappointing it can be for a client to do all that planning and dreaming only to have it be t-shirt weather. The numbers are down this year and the next week looks to be more of the same weather. The elk are here I've seen them by the hundreds but are extremely difficult to get to. Like you said they are laying around real high probably on some north face so thick you wouldn't get a 15 yard shot. Some are lounging in pastures on private ranches in the shade (I saw about 200 head yesterday 1/2 mile from my house). No big bulls tho just 1 rag horn/ a couple of spikes and lots of fat cows. If it makes you feel any better I haven't had any luck either and I know this area pretty well. I wish I knew the owner of that ranch well enough to get permission. He doesn't let anyone hunt there at all and the elk know it. Hope you had a good time anyway, see you next year? [ 11-13-2004: Message edited by: Cowboy ] [/QUOTE]
