You and me both!

Cubrock, I think these are part of the herd that was introduced some time back in the Big South Fork and Royal Blue areas. The mountain I hunt is between the two. One of the elk that showed up on my camera this summer had a collar on it. the last few years here they have a lottery for just five permits, and one of those is sold on ebay or something as a fund raiser. So really only four. You can use a bow, rifle whatever, and each of the lucky five has to hunt in a designated area, separate from the other four permit holders. It doesn't cost me anything to put in for it, and I have every year since it started, but it's akin to winning the powerball, so expectations for success are pretty low, if not non-existent. I figure if I'm lucky enough to get drawn, I'll start learning how then. Next fall I'm going to try hunting 'em with my camera. Seeing them that day several weeks ago, I felt like the first time I went deer hunting as a lad, haven't felt that way in along time. I liked it!
