Holy $#!#, I'm Tired.

Randy did that phases of elk thing for different parts of the season. I didn’t pay attention, but do believe your target elk would be on within line of sight to I-80 now.

oopsie, spoke too soon. even with my vehicle legally being allowed during a closure like this (i think?) this may be an indication that going through Walden and coming up from the south to where we're staying is most advisable, probably safest regardless. or we'll leave in the morning.

Good luck and be safe!

It can be mildly entertaining watching the trucks during these conditions. If you have a slightly twisted sense of humor. Blow overs are slower than you would think. Just make sure you are on the windward side of them.

 

[TOGIE]

Safe and sound. Time time to scrap together some sleep.

Hopin for this to be a one day show.

 

[Wild Bill]

Good luck! Put the sled and skis to work.

Already saw elk on the side of the highway. Not my unit though.

30 oz coffee, a donut, and a morning chew, had to make a pit stop.

I love that winter elk hunting doesn’t necessitate super early mornings.

Be at our starting point shortly. Watching sections that touch the highway closely along the way.

morning chew, had to make a pit stop.

Usually hard to have one without the other.

Initiating squirrely long round about stalk

As feared

They are barely on private. Lots of snow, very slow going.

Sign everywhere. They might cross.

Posting up to wait and see.

Very nice bull randomly came out of the blue behind us from where we came. Is just chilling 400 yards away on public.

So maddening he is completely alone. Elk several miles away on the hills to our right. Elk on private 1300 yards away in front of us. Bull to our left on public 400 yards away.

Actually surrounded by elk. Have to keep waiting.

Bull literally just bedded down. We’re stuck here

 

[Irrelevant]

it'll happen!

Elk are moving generally towards us.

Watching a herd of pronghorn 500 yards away. Watching two very nice winter range mule deer bucks 700 yards away.

Things might be coming together. Wyoming is something else.

Rooting for you. Pictures of a dead cow are coming soon...

 

[bmt99]

Is wind a factor? Crazy that animals are all around you in a relatively flat plane.

 

[RobertD]

Stay warm, dead cow in your future

 

[Jbotto]

Man, I’m refreshing this thread often. Hoping this works out for you @TOGIE !
