Done!

Have you two flipped the coin yet?

[brianb231]

Yes, and I am first!!!!! Well I think we are going to go I hunt the morning, He hunts the evening, He hunts the next morning, I hunt the next evening and so on as far as the shooter goes.  It would be nice to get one early in the season so we can hold out for a masher for the second one.

Is that asking too much....

Nope, not at all.

Heading out tomorrow for two serious days of hiking and setting up 3 more cameras as well as checking 2 others... this will put me to the test for sure.  The places we drop these cameras are not easy.... but I can't wait!   

I have never been as serious and as focused on taking a big bull as I am this year! 

Hope to post up some more pics by Monday evening!

Remember the very best elk plan can change very quickly , make sure you have plans  a b c d e and f !

[brianb231]

Hey Coach,

We have plans A, B, C, D and E but plan F is to call you and RT Spring! Let us hope it does not come to that.

how did the scouting and cam check go?

[brianb231]

Well My Hunting Partner (BrianMTSInc) is up on the mountain still. He Text me and it sounds like we had some camera issues this go round. But he was glassing 3 very nice bulls this evening and one was Masher. Hopefully we will get pics of them. I am going back up on Friday to check it out again.

As BrianB said, we had some camera issue, which sucks, BUT I saw 2 - 1st day shooters in the same place we have seen them before (I hope they stay close by for another few weeks!!), and I saw FRESH elk sign in all of the places I hoped.    

Cameras have all been reset, new batteries, SD cards, and fresh attractant.    2 new cameras have also been placed.  1 one a wallow with a huge bed right next to it.  I am hoping this is a certain bulls wallow!!  Time will tell! 

[brianb231]

Well, It finally happened. I went to a nice producing camera ( my newest)  and where I last put a new mineral block and someone stole the camera and the block.  I hate thieves, but I only have myself to blame for not locking it up. I don't  know what I more pissed about. Losing the camera or not knowing what was on the SD Card. It was like running downstairs Christmas morning only to find out that someone stole all your presents and took your tree too!!!   But there was a ton of fresh elk droppings in front of where my camera use to be. I guess I can take solace in that!

Dam that sucks

That sucks about your camera, not much lower than a thief.  Good luck on the hunt, it looks like you've got some great leads.
