Well I spent this weekend camping and scouting with my 3 older kids. After looking at my topos and Google Earth I picked a few spots I wanted to check out. My 12 year old daughter who starts Hunters Ed tonight did 5 miles with me on Sat. I jumped a nice 6x6 Sunday morning at 6:27. I also ran into a sheepherder from Peru. I asked him if he spoke English he said no just Spanish. I thought great I speak fluent Spanish lets see if he has seen any Elk. Since I knew the word of deer and not elk I said I was looking for deer but bigger. His reply was oh "Elka" I said si. He told me that his camp was a mile up the trail and when I got up that morning there were 3 Bulls fighting in the meadow where he was camped. I marked that spot on the map! Here are some pics of the area and the sign. Pic 27 is a meadow 1.2 miles from the main road.

spanky said:Great report, thanks for sharing. looks like a good area.
also..kudos for taking your daughter, 5 miles isn't easy.
Thanks Spanky,
She had fun, however she freaked when I picked up some fresh Elk poop to show her. Made me laugh!! ;D She finishes Hunter's Ed this Friday. I got her all Sitka camo as a present for finishing and her 12th Birthday. This year we'll rifle hunt deer together and next year we'll archery hunt for Elk. To bad school is during hunting season or I would always have someone to hunt with!
