I've been out scouting for elk now a couple times and really haven't had a lot of luck locating any herd sign, but I'm sure I'll eventually find them..........I hope.  I've also spent quite a bit of time driving back and forth across the state for my job.  Here are some photos that I thought some of you may enjoy.

Elk scouting:









Isaac is growing up and will be packing a bow around this year during the elk and deer season:



There were almost 20 chicks (Huns) that crossed the road in front of me here

A short hike with the family:



My wife and kids convinced me that they needed chickens.  We have eight total.  One of them ended up being a rooster.




Eastern Montana sunrise:

There were three hen turkeys here and poults everywhere in the weeds.  There are a dozen poults in the second photo that all appeared to be following the hen to the far right.






Here are a couple short videos of a lonely tom I ran across in the mountains the first week of June.   I was looking for elk when I surprisingly ran into this guy.  It didnt' take much to make him gobble as you'll tell by me weak owl hooting.

Thanks for posting the pics.  Absolutely beautiful country.  A western elk hunt is number one on my bucket list now since I have been fortunate to remove Merriams turkey off that list.
Good luck elk hunting.

Thanks for sharing.  Great pics.
I love golf.  It keeps a lot of people out of the turkey woods.
