the hunting seasons are winding down and just need to ask a few ?????? to kill the boredom. last fall we had deer tags in region # .they had a fair amount of snow fairly early so it took us a couple days to find the deer ,when we did we also found the elk and lots of them. we got into lots of bulls that i would be happy to shoot and after learning the lay of the land i would gladly burn my points to try and get this tag. my buddies think this was a fluke deal and the elk were down mid elavation because of the snow 8- 12 inches in most places.where we were hunting was a good hike in and i think the elk were there to escape the hunting pressure that was heavy atv and vehicle traffic non-stop.my questions are when does the harvest statistics for 09 come out so i can compare past years to this year and do any of the elk experts think the elk would all be up high the middle of october still in the wilderness areas which leaves the non- resident on the outside looking in. i know there is a lot of variables just want to hear some thoughts, thanks.
