Cow Elk in 58?

[WapitiBob]

I'm taking the wife on a cow hunt in 58 the week of the 8th. It appears that I can glass the fairly open terrain above the gravel road that cuts across the National Forest, under the Carter rim. The question is, I don't expect any real weather by then so am I safe to assume the cows will still be up there rather than down out of the forest and on the HMA?

 

[PleaseDear]

It certainly would not hurt to get her a Permission slip on the HMA in advance of arriving W-Bob.

Travel safe and enjoy,

those cows will get pushed down from other hunters.. this coming wednesday the weather is going to get really cool in the low-lands. so there is a high chance of some good cold weather in the mountains, who knows maybe snow.

My quest for elk got started in that country. WE were there about 8 years ago hunting mule dear. One morning we were heading up the carter before light and the road turned into a heard of elk. That wes the first time I saw elk.That day we saw 2 heards off the right hand side of the road if you were heading up about 3/4 of the way. We had 2 inches of snow one day that week and that was it. We rented a house on that trip and I did get an average buck on the last day of our hunt. It was on the left side about 2/3, 3/4 of the way up by an old cabin along the creek.
