Got settled in CO today about noon and took the afternoon to drive to the entries into 2 of the spots I have been dissecting via the web. The place I feared might have people issues just that. 9 trucks and a couple horse trailers. May check it mid week if the other spot doesn't pan out. The second spot is actually the closest to where we are staying and there were no trucks in there. Understandable too considering the freaking climb to get up where I want to be. Good news is the first quarter to half mile is dang near vertical and then it should be side billing into the area. Only other way I could sort out on the web is a lot longer hike with more gain. Opting to take my medicine right out of the gate and get it over with. Plus side too is that sane people would never opt for this route in. Hoping that plays in my favor that if folks come up there from the other side I may be able to use that to my benefit. Second elk hunt, first solo, and wife is tagging along for the hiking and see if she might like to get a ML tag in the future. I think have done about everything I can to stack the odds firmly against success so odds shmods we gonna go get after em in the morning. Will update along the way. Y'all get after em and good hunting everyone.
