Took a little day trip to do some scouting and shooting if the need arose. We were climbing well before sunrise so we could get a good look at the day starting from as high as we could go. As it got lighter we spotted several moose and quite a few whitetail across on the next ridge. Within an hour we had a small group of about 20 elk cross a small opening a 1/4 mile away on our side of the valley. We made a move to get down even with them tie the horses up and still hunt into the stand of timber. We had the wind in our favour and were about 400 yrds from where they entered the timber when all the elk boiled out the other side of the trees. Having not seen another hunter on the ridge had us wondering what we did wrong. As we moved closer we found out it was a grizzly that had followed them into the trees. Never saw that grizzly but his tracks told us he was there. We're going back up on the 27th/28th and taking my oldest son along.
