).Thank you. I did check Google previous imagery when I first saw it. Didn't see anything like cows on any of the dates. Oh well, from my talks with wildlife officials sounds like there is elk to be had. Adjusting is a good idea, we have plenty of elevation in Maine, but as far as that far above... Nada. I'm in shape from hiking here, but your right, I cant let my pride get in the way of adjusting..wapiti_will said:Welcome to the forum mckayam1. Have a few suggestions for you. Sometimes it can be helpful to get on google earth and use the timeline feature to go back and look at multiple aerial images of that area from different times on the year (something I wish OnX could do). You may just see something like 500 head of cattle or something else to help you draw a conclusion about how good a spot may or may not be. I really like that sometimes the date of the imagery coincides with the last week or archery, and looking at different trailheads can help me determine how busy an area I haven't been before may end up being. I even located a small meadow in the middle of timber, miles from any road, with a couple tan bodies about the size of a bull elk standing next to a wallow (I released 2 arrows in that meadow since then...and two elk packed out
Also, I couldn't help but smile when I saw your OnX elevation of nearly sea level and you scouting at 11k ft. So be sure to take your time adjusting to the altitude when you get here and follow advise out there on how to mitigate altitude sickness.
