Default Saturday Trip to the Woods

Well we made it out to check cameras this morning. We were really hoping we might even bump something making track and we were really close. No matter it was a great trip running around the mountain and getting some look sees.

We believe we may have a found a very hot spot - hopefully with big bulls. We were just a bit late this morning. We pulled both cameras from the Water Hole and have now installed them in this area. Hopefully next week we will have something to really look at... Really wish we could have seen this spot before it was vacated... The left evidence that they had not been gone long.



Water Hole Area - the camera at the water hole continued to show animal use. Have not seen the big Bull or nice buck lately though. Dave you asked about using a tree for a stand... The water hole has a natural tree built for watching the area.

Anyway here is a collection of pictures...



Cabelas has decent sale going on a Primos trail cam - so I ordered another one so we might get more diversified... maybe see more.

Ya! we missed the urination but just [] that much. You will not believe where this spot is. Hopefully next week we can get some good camera pics. I am going to take a chain saw in and clean the trail somewhat. Hoping if we open the trail we will be able to entice more of them to sidehill a few hundred yards to a live stream.



If we get them to here - we have great ambush spot...

Looks like a very good spot to ambush an elk.

Deer and elk prefer good trails. We keep our trails cleared out.

Looks like fun.

To me, the planing, research, scouting, equipment prep and all around anticipation of a hunting trip is often more enjoyable than the trip itself.

Not that I don't enjoy the trip but do get excited prepping.
