Post by: CP on October 03, 2011, 02:11:20 PM: Last year I went up 2 days before the season started to scout. Scouting was a waste of time; I saw lots of animals and the bulls were bulging but as opening day drew near, more and more camps sprung up. Many of the places where I had seen elk had tents on or near them by opening morning. No surprise that the elk had moved, the trick is finding where they go to hide.

Post by: deadwoodbuck on October 12, 2011, 03:29:38 PM: cow tag last year...one scared spike and a cow the day before. then it was hotter than a two-bit pistol all week and nothing. hunted all the canyons we could high and low...nothing. this year another cow tag in the party. lots of sign and one cow on the camera day before. so much sign at tammy springs...nothing visual. then the wind rain and cold dusting of snow...nothing at wally springs or quartz mtn deadend road. so six more years before another cow tag comes my way. may try another area entirely or hoist my sorry arse into the tree and wait for them. if you could eat sign...my freezer would be full. thats why they call it hunting and not shooting.
