Well...not that I was actually out scouting elk this evening but while checking on one of our secluded broam grass fields I did happen to watch 40 cows with 40 calves (give or take on the calves as too many to actually count) and approx 8 young bulls rangeing from spikes to small raghorns, cruise through the timber on the field edge. They didnt notice me as the wind was blowing to me and I was not in their direct sight. What a noisy bunch. Anyone that has been around 80-90 head ofelk up close knows there is no other sound like it when they are on the move! Even with the dry year the forage is lush in the draws and valleysand the elk are looking like they are in great shape. High percentage of calves per cows this year.Sept 10 cant come soon enough!
