Red Rabbit Report post Posted October 29, 2007 Went up to 9 with my friend's nephew as he has a rifle bull tag in November and has never been there. He drew a deer tag up there also so he would have the chance to look over the unnit before the elk hunt. We saw about 20 does and no bucks, and some nice sunrises. Was greeted to this sunrise Saturday morning. Stepped out of the truck, heard thundering hooves real close, like 50 yards away, but twas only several does and fawns. Saw may elk in this group from a distance (sorry, 1000 yards and hand held pic). Counted 52 and surely missed a few. One bull was about 350, but had a busted beam. Another only had one brow tine left. Must have been some tough fighting. Sunday morning had this sunrise illuminating the clouds to the west. And along the Grand Canyon Railway tracks looking north. Came across this hole in the terra firma. Figured the limestone dissolved away underneath and the roof collapsed. Was about ten feet deep and went back undernreath ten feet. Finally, a view towards the San Francisco Peaks to the south, hazed by the smoke from southern Cal. Doug~RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
