Anyone have an update on the Sunlight Basin, I have a late elk tag there. How much snow is in the park and have any park elk stated to come down?

Thanks

Hey, they ins't much snow in Sunlight, in the bottom there is none. But I will give you some advice, go up to Gravel Bar, up little sunlight, I saw a huge 7X7 up there but it was a week after season had ended, maybe you could find the monster I could during the season. Good luck to ya.

Just got back from deer hunting there yesterday. Didn't see any elk, or fresh sign at all. There is not much snow in the park as of yesterday. Dosen't that hunt start like the 18th? You never know, there could be A LOT of snow up there by then. I did see a monster bull down near Cody though. Don't know if that is in your area or not, but it was on the highway that takes you to the east entrance to the park. He didn't look too good. All skinny, crippled up in the hind quarters and had hair falling out. He was a very, very heavy 6x6, a little broken up, but still a hog. I don't think he's going to make it too long. So for anyone around that area if you drive up the 14,16,20 about five miles from the park, look for ravens and magpies along the river bottom. He was right off of the highway standing in the same exact spot for several hours. Its sad to see something usually so proud and regal looking so bad. He looked like he just wanted someone to put him out of his misery. He must have been in a fight with another bull or maybe a car?
 
Hey Shep,


Did you find any deer? See any wolf or bear signs? I can only hunt in the sunlight dranage area. Too bad about that old bull, I have a tag burning in my pocket and he sounds like wolf crap by now to me.
