Walking in the Woods
« on: October 12, 2011, 05:11:40 PM »
Got out again this morning to do some survey work... tracking elk, and if a nice buck shows up so be it.

It was an excellent morning for hunting... other than a few minor problems. It was a really nice big moon last night - I'll bet the animlas really like it... And the wind was blowing well this morning and the real problem it was swirling.

Other than that it was good day.... Made it up to another one of our more reliable spots...  it really is a good area and the animls move through this saddle on a regular basis.



Ran up against some turkeys in the skid trail first thing this morning and a good deal of fresh deer track in the mud of the trail.  No elk sign at all other the browsed red stem on Apple Tree Ridge.

Did about a 2 mile loop without bumping anything.  So around noon I headed back down to the truck.

It was another healthy day - walking and packing...
Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!

That sure beats being at work enjoy!!! Been working 6/10's forgot what it's like to be in the woods. :tup:
It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need one and not have it.                                                                             Local 66 sheetmetal workers

Nice looking country... good luck hunting...
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
