The melted goodness that is the combo of graham, chocolate, and marshmellow does give me fits when it gets in my beard but yes....s'mores. Sorry Goldeneye but your elks camps are sounding more and more boring! Having a bad day?

Our elk camp days are pretty much the following.  No boring, but productive. 


* Have good breakfast
*Hunt daylight to dark.
*Don't go back to camp for lunch and a nap as lot's do
*Have a good dinner
* Share intel from the days hunt and plan for everyone the next day


This has worked pretty well.  Boots on the ground in good area during all hours of daylight produce results. 

Also, yes today is not the best day.

Sounds like you need a s'more. I'll make you one at the bbq later this month. It will be delicious and you will love it.

S'mores are life giving.  I never remember to pack them like H20 Hunter but the wife wouldn't spend one night in the woods without a healthy supply of s'mores materials.

Our last backpack trip was six miles in on Sherman Pass in April   :yike:

Wind blowing 40 knots and c-c-cold.  Smores made in the tent saved the day!   :chuckle:

Oh I'm right there with you.  With a bear and/or deer in camp I'm pretty prone to a few drinks.

My only difference is I start drinking once I leave home and hit the highway!!! And minus the tree stand...  :chuckle:
