I live on a ranch in South Central British Columbia...my back property line is actually the US/Canada Boundary. Went out this evening and counted 13 cows and 11 calves in out top field. Have seen them for the last 4 nights. There is water and deep dark cover off the fields for them to sit out the heat of the day. Have seen a couple decent bulls in the last couple weeks but have not heard any bugleing going on yet. Looks like its going to be a good year for elk hunting.
