I hunt the smith creek drainage just north of stump creek. There are some monster bulls in there. Ever since the wolves got in over in that area there isn't much talking going on during the season. We switched tactics from calling to mostly still hunting in the dark timber and ambushing animals. Early 90s from 6 to 10 it used to be constant ringing in the hills, about 99 its started to drop, saw our first wolf that year. And its gone down hill ever since. I see a lot of wolf sign up there now. Good luck, hopefully you get some early snowup high, if you do there are some areas that will be thick with elk. Last time I was in on the tag you have we saw 18 bulls in one morning with the smallest being a 5x5.
