[QUOTE="LkeAF, post: 2788782, member: 118231"] It's downright depressing. I never curse the rain or snow because we always need it, but it's a little much this year. And the fact that it started in late October is a long time to survive on little to no food. I glassed a 5x and a smaller raghorn bull on the side of a hill/mountain across from my house back in January @ 8K ft. I hadn't seen an elk up there since early November and thought they'd all migrated out. I watched the two of them for exactly two weeks. They would spend half the day digging a dozen holes in 3 ft of snow to find something to chew on, and the other half laying down. In that two weeks, they moved @ 300 yds total. They finally dropped down into the gully at the bottom of that open slope and crossed over into the timber as best I could tell. Haven't seen them since, but I can't imagine they're doing well. Especially since that whole mountainside avalanched a couple of weeks ago. [/QUOTE]
