I was scouting my spot tday and I found a lot of fresh sign, some big trees were mangled!! I was going to hunt on a stand opening morning but this made me almost change my mind and just march around cow calling. There are a few buck in the area but I'm not worrying about them yet. It's just so dry that I know I can't be quiet at all. I've only bow hunted a couple of years. I would just like some input on whether it's better to hunt Elk from a tree or the ground?
