Default Elk Rub

Today was spent in the Northern Hills trying to kill a whitetail doe. Saw 2 bucks, and had 3 mule deer doe, but no tags for them. The whitetail doe i saw, all were waving white things at me as they ran away. Guess i wasn't sneaky enough; perhaps it was because the wind was swirly.

One thing i did see a lot of were elk rubs. Seemed them elk hung out where i hunted today a couple three months ago. After awhile, i got to thinking that perhaps some of the good old boys out East hadn't ever seen an elk rub, so i took a picture with my X7 leaning on the rub for perspective.














Also saw a yeti track. At first i thought all them were old man tracks from a couple days ago, but then i saw the one with distinct toe marks in the snow. The tracks were some longer than mine, and perhaps 2 day old.



Seems kinda strange out of all them old yeti track in the snow, only one had toe marks in it.

Tree huggers hate rubs.

How do you cook Yeti anyway? And do you eat the liver, heart and tongue?

It's funny, the first time I saw elk tracks, big as dinner plates, it took a while for my mind to adjust to the scale of things vs deer.
Never saw a rub though.

Myself, i have never seen a Yeti. Once, i saw Yeti hair stuck on barb wire, where a Yeti had crossed the fence. It is long, very long, and dark.

I did learn on TV the other day about Yeti temper. What these fella's were doing was floating down a river, when they spotted a Yeti snoozing next to the water. One of them went over there, and did a cannon ball next to the Yeti, getting it wet. The Yeti lost it's temper, and skipped that fella across the water, like we skip rocks across water. Wow, i would hate for a Yeti to do that to me. I know one thing, if i ever made a Yeti mad once, i would never do it again, but these guys keep making Yeti mad over and over. Wife wondered if they were from Louisiana or some thing.

An elk calf is bigger that any buck you'll see.

We don't have those Yeti guys Ron. But we are very very careful to avoid the Loup Garou and the Honey Island Swamp Monster.

Do you have to worry about the Loup Garou at the full moon only, or are they mean all month long? i hear the Letiche or is it the Tainted Keitre is a mean critter with scary red eyes.
