Well. Back and without any meat. We didn't see so much as one elk. Heard one bugle on the second night but couldn't pinpoint the location. Saw very little sign as well. Had a bunch of run ins with moose, and a close encounter with a Female Grizz with 2 cubs at about 20yards
but that was it.
We must have glasss and checked out every valley west of willowbury ridge and north of north lost valley up to the fire watch . Dang. Good thing it's still early!
