[QUOTE="RockChucker30, post: 3780493, member: 11855"] Day Five: Do or die I need to relocate a huntable number of elk. Sign is drying up and is very sporadic and scattered. I start the morning by pushing farther along the bench than I have, covering holes in the map. There are only a few places the herd couldv'e gone without rappelling and I'm marking spots off the list. [img]http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc286/RockChucker30/Colorado%202014%20fixed/DSC001591024x683.jpg[/img] Nothing. I spent half the day hipflexing over deadfall and crawling through chest high weeds and grass in aspen openings. Perfect elk habitat. Nothing. I need a move. I pack up camp. I load up on water, because there isn't any where I'm going. I'm going up. [img]http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc286/RockChucker30/Colorado%202014%20fixed/DSC00175683x1024.jpg[/img] The plan is to head straight to the top of the ridge. I'm at 9800', ridgetop is 11200'+. It gains 1400" in a half mile. I stopped by the kill site of my bull from 2012. Mother nature uses everything. From glorious animal to bleached bones in a couple seasons.
