I see an awful lot of Cow meat out there...
What's with that fence of bony bits in the way of my lunch?

I got it in an email from my son, titled as above. Was going to ask him if he knew the source, but never got to it. He's snowmobiling in Idaho until Sunday. I'll ask him if he knows the source when he gets back.

30+ years and 60+ pounds ago, I guided on the upper reaches of Kelly Creek (upper tributary of the Clearwater), just off the Lolo. There were some dang good elk in there. Nothing could live up there in the winter so I guess they had to go somewhere to get something to eat. Lots of great memories of those days. Beautifull but hard country. Read a great little book of some hunters, shortly after the turn of the century, (the earlier one) that went over the Lolo for some late season hunting. They couldn't get back out the way they came so had to go out the bottom, down the Clearwater. Took them a couple months and a few died in the process.

I was born and raised around that country and it looks to me like it is the winter range for the RM and Yellowstone heards just outside Jackson Hole, WY.

Weve got a couple wintering areas like that around Oregon too. One near Mist and the other near Elkton. Both in the Coastal range of Oregon.
I always enjoy seeing so many elk in one place. Reminds me that they're still out there in good numbers!
