RE: WSFS Why burn now?
ELK101,
Yes-sir-ee, I shot mine right across the paved road from our camp. In fact both of the elk we took were on the bumping side of the road.
We saw a total of 5 Elk around camp. Three cows and the 2 spikes we shot. We saw the one cow that crossed the road at Cougar flats on 2 different mornings. The other 2 cows are the ones I mentioned up near the clover covered clearing up on the ridge above camp.
Over off of the 1706 we saw 1 spike and 2 cows.
Since there are 4 in our group (and the fact that it was all down hill) we had my elk back in camp in about 2 hours. This elk was actually a 1x2 spike. I will have to measure the horns.
Also, yes it was my first elk and my friends first elk.
Take care,
Lee
