[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 236774, member: 412"] Do the horse guys go higher, or up over the top then back down the other side to lower public you can't access from the bottom on the other side? Regarding horses, I wouldn't put it past an awful lot of outfitters to take people on a long pony ride that zaps a LOT of their willingness to do much of anything once in camp then take a long pony ride back out. Essentially a nice pony ride/camping trip in beautiful country with virtually 0 chance of killing an elk. Not to beat the dead obvious horse, but, Elk have to have food, and more importantly, water. When you spot "helicopter elk", IME, that's they're bedding area as there's not typically much food or water in those areas. Figure out where they're eating and drinking then either sit on that source or get between the food/water and bedding ground. Running a set of tracks backwards to food/water might be more productive that giving chase....... [/QUOTE]
