That is beautiful country up there. Wicked pictures by the way. One of the spots i hunt is about an hour south of where you were. Unfortunately u were a few weeks early if u were to be there now you would have alot better chance cause the elk are rutting up ther right now. But its good to hear you enjoyed the trip out here, hopefully you will be able to bag an elk if you decide to do another trip out here. You should have stopped in at the lake and did some fishing, wicked fishing in that lake.
