It was still dark when I rolled out of the cabin the next morning and I was coming around a switchback and had 5-8 elk in the road, I laid on the brakes and I didn't hit one as they moved off to the side of the pavement.

Unfortunately, coming off the mountain and heading back to town, a little Honda car was off the side of the road and it had hit a yearling lil Bull.

This is the mountain that I was going to hike/scout for my elk tag and for Bull Moose.

My OnxMap off grid showed me going in and out of 102/104 elk and just 26 Moose, 135 G deer.

So the following pix are with in this mountain area, typical for this western Wyoming lay of the land, thick pines, quakies and open sagebrush...….

I knew it was going to be a great day of scouting right after I got into lot's of 'Still Steaming'.....haha

I'm running a pinch late this early AM, so I'm off to the gym--get my daily Temp read---before entering the gym and then straight up to Wheeler Canyon for a good hike.

More to follow----->

Thanks again for taking the time to view,

Robb, One of my favorite areas. Took a bow bull moose there a long time back. I have seen some dandy bucks there in the past and wondering if the deer are coming back. Do you know if they still run flocks of sheep there during bow season as they don't seem to help the hunting ? Thanks for this thread and all your threads which are very interesting to me........Bob

A decent 6 x 6 @ about 60-70 yards

As I hiked in and the morning progressed it just seemed like I had elk every time I came out of a patch of pines or quakies out feeding in the sagebrush meadows/parks.

I worked my way thru some willows and when I got to the other side, the whole hill side was full of elk

From: BULELK1

03-Jul-20

I came to a 3 way fork along this canyon and decided to up into some thick pines and see what was up in there.

Right choice!

From: BULELK1

03-Jul-20

Sure glad I carry my lil stool as it was really wet.

After the elk wander out of this little lush pocket in the pines, I decided to take a break.

Sure glad I have good bug spray as the 'skeeter's got worse as the sun rose over the ridgeline.

I got tired of having my 15 x 56's bino's sitting on a Tripod on a shelf for most of the year next to the spotting scope so I decided to start using them instead of my Euro HD's 10 x 50's

From: BULELK1

Not as heavy as I thought they would be...….

From: BULELK1

03-Jul-20

They fit just snug in my King's Camo large bino case.

Not a bad morning distance of hiking/scouting/filming.

That wraps up this morning pix

Definitely a great option for husband and wife hunting with another hunting couple.

The 2 separate bedroom areas allows for plenty of privacy

For some reason, I just really like this Pic!

That wraps up today's pix offerings

I've been axed to not post any pix of the Bull Moose as this # 26 tag is so very hard to draw and no need to attract more attention to this area, makes sense to me....

Where as a few pix of Cow elk and a couple Raggie bull elk isn't making this area a Destination Hunt!! haha

Thanks for taking the time to view All and I've responded to all private questions.

I'll finish up in the AM mayana.

Yep once those sheep move in the elk will wander away. Did you stop by Big Spring ?

From: BULELK1

05-Jul-20

No PB, I didn't...….

Although I did take the time to go up to prolly my Fav lake.

This lake isn't in the #26 moose unit but it is always worth the drive up to see it.

PS~~ I recently got a request (from late comer Ram tag) to run up to Dubois and look into the North end of Ram 22/south end of Ram 5. I got my Sheep Mnt Topo.com map Friday! Plus, No doubt some bowsiter will draw a Leftover Elk # 67 type 9 tag so I can help out 2 people on 1 trip haha Exciting------->

Bob----> Back when you could get G muley about every other year, I used to day hunt in there almost daily on the bow dates......what a blast!

Good luck, Robb
