I took a flying trip up over Labor Day weekend to hunt with my brother. Got there about 3:30AM, hiked in 3 miles to meet up and hunted off our backs the rest of the way. There was fresh sign around, tracks, rubs and we saw a lone cow, but we just could not get anything to come to call. Nothing. Nada.

We hiked out late Sunday night and when I got to back to the truck I found an elk foot in the bed.

A couple of buddies were hunting in a lower region - fully and easily accessible by vehicle - crawling with hunters - but obviously one of my friends managed to wack one. Doh!! I found out later that he'd killed a really nice 5 point. Very even, nice upward eyeguards, maybe around 260 or so.

I'll be back in a few weeks to try it again!
