[QUOTE="lilithann123, post: 235749, member: 12598"] I [I]just[/I] finished de-mudding and unpacking. We had no luck in the Gila. Had a bull bedding nightly above the trailer, but couldn't site him. Tracks indicated an elk chose to mosey down our wash and wander the camp two different days. Lots of evidence, but little noise and no visuals. The elk were oddly absent. No herds, no groups. Very few people in the area had any luck either. The hail storm probably scared everything away. I went with friends up to Cerro de la Olla the next week. I saw a LOT of elk - all running at me. One morning a herd of 15+ came running up through the trees behind me. Every day those beasts managed to spook us instead of the reverse. Of course my friend was too startled to shoot any 'em! I couldn't even get my camera out in time! All in all, I'd do this again. But I need to learn more about the differences between elk & deer habits. Thank heavens I have 12 months for reading!
