Time's Out Elk

I'd hunted six days in the last week, I figured rest days were meant for a time they call..... December. I was running out of time and with only five days left in the general Montana elk season, I had groceries on my mind. I set off for a three day ski supported backpack hunting trip... the snow began falling heavily as I left the house at 3:00 a.m. and my attempt to reach the trailhead was thwarted by the deep snow on the road. I managed to get my truck stuck three times trying to force the issue. In the end after four hours of frustration and 2.5 miles of driving in reverse before I found a stop where I could turn around, I was lucky enough to spot 20 elk on the mountain across the canyon from me.... thank goodness! I pinpointed their location on my map, figured out the access point I'd be using the next morning and went home to rest for the next day.

After some long drives and lots of time spent looking at maps we're finally in position (with plenty of elk spotted) to have a really good chance at scoring on a couple cows tomorrow morning. We're hunting BLM lands here in Montana and armed with our GPS and a BLM map we're scouring the countryside!!! We spoke with a Montana Fish and Game warden this evening who helped us to pinpoint an access that would put us right on top of a pile of elk! We scouted out the area this evening and found over 300 elk spread between five different herds. From on butte this evening we glassed 30 different branch antlered bulls, biggest being in the 340" class... wow what a glassing point! We also found a great mule deer buck that was on a section of private ground we couldn't access, but it was great to see a buck like that living in the area.
