Haha. We saw a ridiculous amount of people, but I don't think we saw a single person further than 300 yards from their ATV. It's kind of entertaining to watch road hunters. Hardly any of them stop to glass or even have binos with them. I bet we watched ten people drive by a bull that was feeding...
It's been a whirlwind season so far, bouncing between school, work and hunting, but Kara and I have managed to make it out most weekends. We gave the elk hell in archery season when we could, but never quite connected. We did manage to kill a lot of grouse though.

Here's one from the Sun River. Had to wait for several hundred elk to cross the road in front of us. Pretty awesome sunrise.

Thanks for the replies! Dave was on my radar, along with a few other names. Reading about the study in the 80's is impressive, they had quite the sample size. It would definitely be interesting to hear about, along with thoughts on current conditions.
Also if anyone has old photos of the...
I am planning on making a short film that discusses the mule deer trends in the Bridger Mountains in MT. In the film, I would like to have opinions/ideas from reputable biologists/hunters/landowners/other people of interest.

I would bet that people who "saw the Flynn and FWP wardens hazing elk" are probably the same...
Sweet video!
Here is my 2 cents:
I would cut the separation between day 1, day 2, and so forth and just have the better sequences leading up to the kill, while it sucks to leave out the whole story, it would be hard to fit it in that time slot without confusing the viewer by shoving all that...
