Title: Can u feel it?
Post by: Icdeadelk on July 06, 2011, 03:28:20 AM: I work super early and love the cool crisp feel in the air this time of year. Sunrise yesterday brought a slight fog off the pond next door where I work and I had visions of a herd of elk feeding in mist ........ Hurry up Sept 6th. It's Killing me :bash:

Post by: Rainier10 on July 06, 2011, 10:03:57 AM: I don't know about feel it but I can hear it. Woke up Sunday morning at 5:30 to a bugling bull and 30 cows and 10 calves chirping and walking across my property. They were all talking up a storm, nothing gets the heart pounding like a bugle in the early morning. I was shocked that the bulls were running with the cows already in this group.

Post by: JColony on July 06, 2011, 11:08:21 AM: Oh, I can geel it! The pain is killing me! The wife and I went up the Little N. Fork of the CDA river on Sat. to do some exploring. Ran a few miles back on an old logging road and managed to get into a small herd (5-7 vocal) of elk. Of course, had to put the stock on 'em. Managed to get w/in 20' of a cow. Broke a couple large branches across my knee as I was sneaking down the hill, must have peaked their interest with that move. When I finally saw the cow, she was moving up the hill straight at me.
Come on Oct 1! The Observatory is waiting for me!!
