Saw this once in Montana. Went elk hunting on opening on a huge ranch backing up to some really rugged national forest. Ranch was normally covered in elk then but winter was very late. The group hunted all week in balmy elkless conditions, with the days not long enough to get from the permanent camp to the tops of the mountains. One small elk taken. We awoke the morning of departure to a regular blizzard. Almost got snowed in to the point of not getting out. As we left, there were elk all over the bottoms.
