Post by: bonkellekter on July 14, 2010, 09:37:07 AM: Its actually a powerline so I probably won't do much hunting from it.

Post by: bonkellekter on July 14, 2010, 09:41:15 AM: The powerline runs thru the back half of my dads property which is surrounded by national forest land - the elk spend most of their time on the national forest land so that is where we hunt the most.

Not if your in a high travel area I was getting upwards of 400 a day finally had to turn my camera pics down so it would wait a minute between pics that might be what he has going on!

Post by: bonkellekter on July 14, 2010, 11:37:09 AM: I am thinking that I may want to rethink the 3-shot burst thing. I have another camera up there that is fairly deep into the national forest also set to 3-shot burst - with 4 gig card it will hold about 7600 pics. I was planning on leaving that cam till end of august but I am not sure if that is enough pics. It will probably fill up long before then.... its in a much more active spot than where this cam is setup. I might have to send the old man up to change the settings on that one since I am not going to make it back up there until end of august.

Post by: seth30 on July 14, 2010, 11:47:19 AM: ok that makes more sense, I thought you were on a 1 burst pattern. i put mine at 1 shot, and just assume everyone else does. SOrry bro!

Post by: bonkellekter on July 14, 2010, 11:59:23 AM: no problem - from the looks of things I should have mine set on single shot mode

Post by: seth30 on July 14, 2010, 12:02:00 PM: what do you use to slow them down? I use apples/ pears for a short soak, and salt licks for long soaks.

The big boys have not come in yet
Those look like "big boys" to me. If those are small for where you are at i can't wait to see the big bulls.

last year there were a couple of bulls we hunted in there that were in about the 340 range (so no records but a fair bit bigger than these guys) - got real close a couple of times just no shots. I would like to see what they are this year
