Just returned from the mountains this morning. And all

Well.......

Sorry for above post I screwed up. Anyway I spent 8 days in the mountains pusueing elk. It snowed the first 4 days and reached 80 degrees yesterday. Had several close encounters with the bulls and saw a ton of elk. I was tooling down a logging raod and met a bear tooling in my direction. A little young bear, I yelled "git" and he scampered up the mountain, got some pictures of him though. Yesterday morning I was working a hot bull when right above me I heard crashing and running noises. I was in thick stuff and heard what I swore was a bull moose grunting and huffing, decided to leave that alone and slipped away. Anybody know if a bull elk has a tending call like that of a moose? I sure don't want to get between a rutting bull moose and his cows. Finally, last nite at dusk, the canyons finally lite up. Elk were everywhere, cows chirping insestly, bull bugleing from every tree, it was magic. I wanted to stay with them all night, alas I must work 50 weeks a year to hunt for 2, something don't seem right about that. It was a great trip, a great time. It was hard to watch the sunset tonight from my house instead of my mountain came.

Sounds like you had a great time - wish you could have brought all of us along with you
