To do or not to do..

[Pilot_Hunter]

So my big bull tag starts the 3rd and I have been asking myself this question. Do I go up on the 2nd to my hunting spot and replenish the salt supply or just wait till the 3rd, hunt it, THEN replenish the salt?

I don't want to scare off the elk the night before and not have them around for the morning. But, if they find the salt again at night they may stick around for morning too.

Thoughts?

I always thought that after the antler growth the buck and bulls don't really care about salt? But I suppose if it keeps the cows around that would be good this time of year. I would sneak in there in the middle of the day tomorrow.

Take 50lbs of dry cob midday the day before

I would pack in some apples also simply for the strong scent tobring them in to the other stuff.

Or as we do....we find someone in the neighborhood with a apple tree (its usually a crab apple one that most folks dont eat anyways), knock on the door and ask if we can gather whats fallen to the ground. Helps them & helps us!!
