Slippery Ann Refuge (Elk Viewing Area)

[JMG]

I have not had a chance to make it to the Breaks so far this season, but am wondering if the elk are gathering on the Slippery (Siparyann) Ann Refuge (Elk Viewing Area) on the northside of the Missouri River.

I am thinking of doing a day trip with the family to watch the elk in action. Just curious.

Thanks for any input.

Most definitely. They should be going crazy by now

From CMR's FB page yesterday:

Elk viewing...
There are currently 75 - 115 elk appearing at the Slippery Ann Elk Viewing Area on CMR. They are coming out later in the evening. We will keep you posted on updates and numbers. For more information on the elk viewing area, visit our website http://www.fws.gov/refuge/charles_m_russell/

There were a hundred or so. Greasewood and cottonwood poles didn't help, but pretty cool first trip for me.

Nice pictures. I noticed one of the cow elk wearing a collar from a project FWP did this winter. A helicopter was used to net 25 cow elk in 621 and 25 in district 622. In two years the collars will fall off and FWP will recover the them and collect the elks travel data! Hope all the elk do not just stay in the No Hunting zone!

These pics were probably 80-100 yards.
