I can't wait to try that Mike. Unfortunately the elk weren't cooperating when I was there.  ...but, one day I was coming down from the wallow and heard a bull or the opposite ridge bugling and coming down to Salt creek. I took off running down hill hitting a lick on my cow call with every bugle. I beat him to the bottom, set up a stand overlooking the creek and waited for him to bust out of the bushes. He was bugling every 10 seconds or so. But, before he hit the opening,........he turned down stream, bugling all the way but never came into the clear. ???  That was the most exciting 5 minutes of my life!!! My hunt was a success!
This is the angle of the hill I ran down. That is the Salt Creek Trail you see in the pic.



Pleasant dreams! >:D

 Salt Creek trail with Salt Creek below.  Sunny side on the left, dark side on the right...and camp just down stream.

David, Just keep thinking that way and some day a friend will take you to the elk woods. It only took me 35 years before I made it(at 56 years old)...and it was worth every minute I waited!.  ;D 8)
  Keenan, that first wallow looked more like a lake than a wallow! ::) I thought the one I posted was big!
  it is funny how come late August I get the urge to pee on every tree and bare ground I see. ;D
