CB1, Ya I'm a lucky guy to be spending all this time out there. No I haven't seen any elk up there at all. I've seen some old sign but no sightings. I did find an old elk shed there on Saturday but all 6pts were chewed off. The week before I glassed up two elk sheds and when I got over to them they were chewed to pieces so I left them right in the open where someone else can see them. I've seen some good elk in that unit in the past but not where I've been hunting. BH, what does that stand for?

Josh,

 

You are the man. What type of terrain are you seeing these scrapes in? What unit? What modes to you preffer to set your trail cams on? ex. 2 pictures every 5 min? I do know of one area in the pines where there are fresh scrapes and rubs everywhere and I want to get my trail cam up.

Bob, your name is very familiar for some reason. Maybe someday I'll think of why. If you ever pull a tag up there I hope you get ahold of me. We saw some hogs this year during bear season and they were ruttin it up bigtime. I remember! Your name was on the back of a business card I got from a guy in Pine. His name slips me right now but he deals in antler like I do, or rather he makes stuff from antlers. Call me anytime you'd like. My email is antlerboy132@msn.com

 

TSM, I like to stick to the thick stuff on the edge of rims of big canyons. I'm finding that a lot of bucks seem to hang out on tops of ridges or rims of canyons where they can't be glassed and hunted very effectively with traditional methods. I saw a rubline in 6A this past Dec that had to be close to 300 yards long with a monster scrape at the end of it under a big cedar tree all along the rim of a huge canyon. I've never been back to check it, I'm a loser. I've spent a fair amount of time in 21 and 22 this January cause their open for archery but I'd love to be spending some time in 6A. Oh well, maybe someday. I can only go so many places you know, I try not to spread myself too terribly thin. For the first roll of film I got back in early Jan I had the timer set at one pic every 30 seconds. I didn't see the same bigger bucks again but two smaller bucks 3 different times each. Not sure if the bigger ones wised up to the camera or what so when I reset the timer I set if for one every minute to see what happens. I didn't get many pictures during the week and a half but I've got 2 rolls to get developed manana so we'll see what's on there. Get that camera out there!!!! My camera spent most of the year in my truck cause I was too indecisive as to where to put it. What an idiot! After I got that first roll of film back I immediatly went and bought another one and now I've got two of them going.

Jamaro, I think Amanda has them posted in her live deer section somewhere and I've got them on my site as well. www.rimrock-outfitters.com, go to the photo gallery of deer then the live deer link. Hope you like them,

Josh
