Elk are getting smart after getting shot at for months.

[USMC88-93]

But apparently my English sucks can a mod fix that ridiculous use of the English language in the thread title (Elk are get smart..... should read Elk are getting smart after being shot at for months.. ...Jesus, I must be tired after that drive back we lost an alternator and a battery on the top of Rabbit Ears Pass during a pretty good storm on the top, it was a very long night.)

We filled 2 of 4 tags on the Big Gulch Ranch just north of Craig this weekend (Ranching for wildlife license). The Elk get out in the most open non vegetation area they can find and bunch up so they can see anything coming at them in all directions. There were at least 4 huge groups running around the ranch along with all the stragglers that have not joined up yet. The only reason I didnt fill my tag is my own personal marksmanship on moving targets as I had ample opportunity.

This picture is maybe 30 percent of this particular group.
