I was thinking the same, but have ran into a couple cameras going towards the water. I’m thinking maybe since this isn’t like a sucluded spot that it’ll get pretty heavy pressure. And that people will hit water hard so getting off water and away from where other hunters will target might be my shot. Especially if I’ve got the cameras up all summer with no people walking through.
I'm new so take what I say with a grain of salt but if you know there bedding area and now there feeding area, and there is only a couple trails out. I would either go in before sun rise and find a good spot on the trail and catch them going from feeding to bedding or in the evening going from beding to feeding. Also if you can locate the water source try and get a cam on that as well. As from what I have learned they elk will get up mid day to water. So that gives you couple more options. Again I'm new only my second year but I have read as much as I can. Also that guy up the post said elk nut on YouTube, I agree with him and there are others and he also has a app that's like 10$ worth every penny for me, but again I'm new.
