Jeff - good job on that tag. I was in 162 last December lion hunting, and ran into some elk. I was just in the area yesterday and found a lone bull track (pretty sure it was a younger bull, it was walking down the road, no other tracks around, not BIG, but decent sized, and still pretty tight, so I don't think it was too old of an elk, so either that or an unbred cow), and some other good sign, all that I was driving roads on my wheeler. Let me know if you will need any help, I will be spending a lot of time this summer/fall in the area lion hunting, and I get back from POST on November 18th, so I can help out if needed, heck, I could probably go out there on opening day if you want the help, its only 35 miles from my house.

Zim - same to you, I posted in West, I can help you out if you need, and might be able to shoot over to Ely for a day. I had a cow muzzle loader hunt there last year the week after bull archery, and know where the elk hang out up there, HIGH, lol. Let me know, keep in touch.

On a side note, I will be hunting area 10 with my muzzleloader this year. Should be fun, never hunted deer with a muzzleloader before.
