My honey hole was ready to produce.  I had several bulls coming in all summer long along with a ton of cows.  Set my stands the weekend before opening day and checked my cams. Everything going as planned.  Went to attach my ladder steps to my trees the day before elk came in and checked my cams one last time. Not bad. I had 89 pics in a week. I had noticed that on the last 4 pics that someone else was looking over my mineral site.  My camera was still there so I didn't pay much attention to it at that time.  Later that night I looked at the pics again and noticed that the other hunter had actually turned my camera around in a different direction and then turned it back so it was facing the right direction. The last 2 pics was of that azzhole (literally). One was of him pissing on my mineral site and the last pic was of him *censored*ting. The *censored* had a face mask on too.  I was there at 10:05am. The *censored* was there at 9:59am!. Just minutes before I got there. He was probably standing there laughing his azz off as he watched me check my camera. I still don't know what I would have done if I would have walked up and seen him with his pants down taking a crap.  I mean can you still beat the crap out of someone that just got done taking a crap? What would you have done?  Anyways, that bunghole messed my area up for a week or so, but the joke is on him.  We got one on the 13th (cow), from that exact stand location. I'll be posting those pics here in a day or two.   

Interesting story; so was it still steamin'?? :dunno:
Assuming this was on land with public access. You about have to expect it. Be thankful they left the cam. You probably would have done just as well without the mineral site. My  :twocents:

I don't think you have to expect that  :twocents:

You're right though, it's good they left the camera
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

What I meant was I wouldn't be surprised if camera or bait site was messed with.

Agree that the urination/defecation was over-kill. If the idiot was smarter he should have staked out a spot farther down the trail himself.

Was in elk every day but between the thermals changing and elk hearing me, I just couldn't close the deal. Darn close a couple of times. Had a good time and learned a few things. First time I've hunted the early season. Very warm then the flood came.

Biked in 4 miles to camp, hunted hard miles in all directions from camp. Seen some cows and some spikes, heard some other cows but the bulls were not talking. My brother missed a bull on day 4 or 5 that came in on him quiet. We traveled after leaving camp. Only heard 3 elk bugle all season. The three that were heard were not really all out bugleing, more half a$$ed bugleing. They were not fired up yet and would just try to go the other way. Frustrating season for sure.

Season moves forward another day next year, then in 2015 we get to hunt from the 8th to the 20th of Sept., as Labor Day lands on Monday the 7th in 2015.

Don't settle for mediocrity!  It should be the 8th thru the 22nd every year.  A solid two weeks.

I have sent a letter asking for it to be changed to that this year rather than wait for the rolling date in 2015 and will send another stating the same thing at the end of the season.  If every archer did that would be a lot of squeaky wheels and maybe we would see the change in dates to a fixed date starting in 2014.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Thank you Ranier.  I have for the past three years.  I think Phil, Dave, and the commission might be getting tired of hearing from me.  :chuckle:
