thanks for the story Mike. Good luck finding a new spot.

Great narrative and pictures.  I'm guessing maybe you were somewhere in Unit 25 where I have hunted in years past.  I can really identify with your great camp setup and used to always have a base camp complete with tepee, Screenbar cook tent, shower tent etc. - no electric lights, however.  

In today's world I'm not sure I know of anyplace that consistently has enough elk that stay in one place long enough to justify the time necessary to set up such a complete camp.  Back in the '90s there were places in the Pahsimeroi Valley that provided great opportunities, but that was before the entrenchment of the wolves. Now they are pretty ubiquitous throughout the state.
