Title: Elk w/Tasco white flash
Post by: bobcat on January 27, 2013, 09:42:04 PM: I've had this camera out for about 2 months in this spot. Checked it today and finally got a couple of bulls, maybe three. I know where I'll be looking for elk sheds in the near future.

No, it's not wintering grounds.

These are non-migratory elk.

My apple supply is entirely depleted.

I'm thinking I need to pick up something from the feed store. Any recommendations?

I'm thinking COB? I've never used it before. Does it need to stay dry?

OK well I guess I will pick up some COB at the feed store tomorrow after work, and dump it in a pile out there Saturday morning, along with a camera.

Hope the elk are still in the area.

I'm thinking they won't be dropping their antlers until next month? Anyone know? (These are low elevation Western Wa elk)

Thanks. That's something I hadn't thought of. Apples is all I've ever used.

So would alfalfa be the best or does it matter?

Post by: oldleclercrd on February 01, 2013, 07:15:38 AM: For elk use salt and alfalfa. Its a homerun. Get a 50# block of mineral salt with selenium 30 and its around $9 at your local feed store. Then get a bale of hay and tuck it under a tree somewhat and your set. Not that you have to but I always go to walmart and get a small bottle of molasses to pour on top of the hay. I cant wait to see more pics. :tup:
