Were you in the park? They KNOW when they are in the park and they KNOW that people on those trails pose no threat. The very second you put on some camo, grab a weapon and step off trail, they KNOW to get outta Dodge. Jerks.

One of the locals that's been helping me a bit with the area I elk hunted this season, had a 6x6 within 10 feet the day after rifle season ended. That bull was nowhere to be found during rifle. It's like he had an Outlook schedule reminder set to screw with hunters. It's uncanny and I've seen it time and again.
