My gf and I are hiking up into the Elk Mountains GMU54 this weekend in pursuit of a cow. I've hunted deer extensively but this is the first for elk. We've been running and hiking with packs to get in great shape. The Scout is good to go and of course I'm not taking any shots that I can't guarantee, boots are broken in, packs rigged, sleds arrainged, knives and saws sharpened up, maps are waterproofed. We went up and scouted the terrain (awesome mountains) but didn't catch sight of any elk, just deer. This time we're planning to get above 12k for stalking. Any last minute advice you guys would give?
