No animals were harmed. Weather was great for humans....warm and sunny every day. Probably not really the best for elk to move in the daytime. Did have some chances on younger bulls, but have already arrowed plenty of those, and was interested in a biggun or nothing. Didn't happen, but enjoyed a couple pleasant weeks in the mountains. The last few days of the season, the action did pic up a little. Here's a pic of the best one I was able to stalk, but it just didn't work out. He was in a group with about 45 cows and 6-7 smaller bulls.
