Already mapping out alternative areas for next year. But the frustration of walking into an area that has produced regularly in the past is barren of elk/deer only to hear the long howl of a bovine!! Compounded by the fact that I am getting older and may not have many archery years in me . . . definitely implementing plan B's.
Parks and timber that show elk on my game cameras were suddenly gone. I guess there is no secret "cure" other than hunt where they ain't.
