After a couple of great hunts for deer and birds our expectations were pretty high for our cow elk season.
Ted and I hunted for 4 days, watched 4 big bulls run out of the brush and up a open hillside. Saw alot of nice bucks in the rut, one monster buck that should be on a calender or cover of a magazine. But unable to find a cow elk, they were everywhere during deer season but did some serious hidding during this late cow hunt.
With sore knees and little hope left we got lucky and found a small group of elk on Sunday morning.
Here are a couple pictures,

Looking forward to next years hunts! -Steve
