Carry a good handful of elk piss soaked dirt in your pocket, when the time is right rub all over your cloths.

An irritating young man with the back of a mule and the legs of an ox can be more valuable than a $1,000 scope and a $50,000 truck!

Didn't think we had ever hunted together   :dunno:

Learn from past mistakes and don't lose momentum.  If you found them once you can probably find them again.

When the weather sucks, your boots won't dry, you haven't seen an elk, you miss your folks, and pizza and hotshowers, resist the urge to pack up after a tough week.  The first week separates the wheat from the chaff.
The way that you wander, is the way that you choose
The day that you tarry, is the day that you lose

Used to.  Now my advice is that your nose is one of your best weapons.  Can't use it properly if you have elk piss on yourself or your gear.  Rub crushed fir needless anywhere you want scent cover.   :twocents:

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

Stay off trails.  Walking even 50 yards to one side or another of a trail may yield animals.
