Awesome job Buschy! I love the bow buck story, nothing better than having a stud buck fall in your lap.
Way to stick with your guns with the rifle tag. He is a true hard earned trophy. Also I could not think of a better way and place to spend 9 days hunting. Thanks for sharing your hunt...
Lots of elk around in E3. Don't be afraid to get away from the park. I see elk every year no where near the park. Go north, either side of the river. Keep at it and put in the time & you will find elk.
