I was on the Caldera this weekend for the veterans cow hunt, very few animals seen. I knew 3 of the 20 had harvested as of Sunday and possibly a few more but the majority of the hunters I talked to had not seen much. The Park Service has closed most of the roads which makes access challenging for some of the youth, MI and veterans. I took a couple of the gentleman horseback into an area I have seen good elk numbers on previous hunts ( earlier bow and rifle hunts) and while we saw some tracks and sign we didn't see a cow elk in 6 hours of riding. Certainly not complaining, we all enjoyed being horseback in the Caldera but it was a very challenging hunt.
