- very little elk sign
- no bugles at all (we were up most of the night)
- no response to cow calls
- didn't even see a moose!
I figure either we were too early, or there were just simply no elk in the valleys where we were. They are probably near the larger rivers that still hold cleanish water.
Anyone else get some rut action? Maybe the cool weather coming later this week will stir things up a bit.
Ahh well, still lots of fun. Even though all I have to show for the effort is a sore back and neck!

hanks for that info!!!! I was inquiring on this forum earlier. 406 is still that dry and it appears all the way down to Watertown it's the same.
I was going to head out to listen for calling Friday but I think I'm going to give it a few weeks.
I was in 326 this past weekend and there was water. Wet dew in the morning. But no sign or sight or sound of elk. Also tried 318 for a night and nothing there but muley doe's.
