FreeDrifter, what area is that? I will be going somewhere over by area 505 for the late hunt if my friends ever get there act together. I have never been elk hunting on the west side. If these people don't pan out I would be willing to maybe hook up and make a trip! I was planning on leaving early on the 24th and stay somewhere through the 27th. I have to work on the 28th. What do ya say!
