Scouting????

[Tbob]

Anyone else hittin the hills looking for critters? I went out this weekend for a little look around.

Yea I scout that area some there but have been hunting it for a while so I know where the animals tend to hang at.

Good on you for getting out. I haven't done much dedicated scouting in several years as I pretty much have my spots ironed out. It's never a bad thing though and always tell myself I should be doing more of it.

[Tbob]

Yeah, I知 a bit of a wanderer. I have a few spots I値l usually hunt that are all scouted and good to go, but this year I decided to hunt new areas for deer and elk seasons. Plus it痴 just fun gettin out seeing new country .

Got down to some new country this weekend. Ran into 50+ elk, 4 or 5 bulls, and a nice big bear. Set up 3 cameras for the season and can't help but get excited!

Sounds like an awesome trip! We were looking for a new deer spot, but seemed to find a moose spot instead.

Beautiful looking country.
I'm stuck working this week, should get a few days to scout next week though. Hope I can find some country that looks that nice!

Not yet. Life keeps getting in the way. Had planned a scouting trip months in advance but forgot that it was Father's day weekend. Apparently my wife didn't like my answer when she asked if I wanted to do anything for father's day (my answer was a 3 day scouting trip with a member on here). Oh well, here's hoping for an opportunity in July...

Great looking country and camp in those photos though

We did. Found a few.

Got out for a solid scout yesterday. My brother, myself and a buddy from out of town are planning a 8 day backcountry hunt this sept. My brother and I hiked into a wilderness area and had a little look around. Found a couple camp options, water locations and areas to hunt. We put up a few trail cameras and will prob go back at the end of the month to check the cameras. Not hoping for much on them with regards to giant bulls or anything, just hoping so see a few elk on them. In case anyone is wondering, the mosquitoes were out in full force too!
    Never having hunted this area, now I知 just curious if the crowds come Sept ?

Scouted last weekend in new area for me for the general early archery hunt.  Lots of hikers, not much fresh sign, no animals seen.  Disappointing. Checking a diff area this coming weekend, then off to fish AK before the elk opener.

Got out yesterday on a solo scout and food cache mission. Was a beautiful day out, I never see much sign in this new area, but the trail cams tell a very different story. Lots of cows on my cams so far and that痴 all I was hoping for! Going to be three of us in camp this year. We値l be in a WA wilderness area so I知 sure I値l see a few of you out there on the trails... good luck and be safe out there.

AK sounds fun!
