We hunted 6-16-17-161-171 2nd rifle. Mostly in 6.
Didn't see one damn Elk in 5 days of humping and sitting.
Heard a few far off bugles when we were in 6 around Custer Mtn.
There were just a few taken around Custer Mtn. We heard some far off shots from Owl Mtn.
All the guides were saying they're still up high.
Some areas that have had historically higher harvest rates are being pressured by cattle grazing and the Elk aren't there. Sucks they combined DOW with parks and are all about the money now.
