Default RE: Whats your Elk hunting plans?

Season is September 17th - 30th (ML cow here in NV). The last two weekends of August and hopefully at least one weekend in September will be spent finallizing plans for a couple of areas I have picked out. My dad will be going out on Sept. 16th and setting up camp, and scouting and watching the elk until about the 20th or so (I have 9 days off, just depends on exactly when my days off fall). I will come up on my first day off, and will hunt. Our plan is to basically listen for the animals to locate possible herds, then watch water holes in the general area, or sit on water holes, and stock in on the animals as the opportunity arises. Because of the heat we have had this summer, and how little standing water is left, finding water will be key in the areas I have picked out, more-so in one spot than another due to the low amount of water, only a few small springs in the north end of this small range I want to hunt. We should be able to be out there until about the 28th or 29th.
