Everyone be careful Lyman on up. Elk are down low and crossing the road. We hit one Thursday morning on our way up. When it is dark they blend in. Just a heads up.
Was it a yearling cow? Saw one on the left side of the road on the way up(north side) that lost a battle with a car or truck. How bad was the damage to your rig? You should have thrown it in the trailer. 200lbs of good eating there, and already tenderized.
YA,,, Get LARGE driving lights mounted high up aimed at the sides of the road. You will also see them just east of Sedro Near the weigh scales We almost hit a big bull last fall with a load of fire wood on the truck near coal creek..
