I second that. I came across this thread too late to see the original pictures, and would love to see them back up.

Thanks Kevin. Will do on the pics. I never intended the thread to get out of hand and I hope to never have another like it. Thanks to those who have said such nice things about me it was heart felt. Happy hunting.

Jesse, thats pretty cool. You had to tease me with the elk pics didn't you? Hopefully I'll have my own in Sept. Heading to unit 71 for the first time.

Dang Jesse,

If I didn't know that was Idaho, I could tell you the spot in Washington.  I built a mega stand like that years ago for Connie and Jason.  Heck Jason was only about 8 at the time.

Jesse, great pics and a heck of a spot! Best of luck come this hunting season!

I'm just glad to get to see pics of elk, we have very few in MI and it's good just to see pics..

I can't really see where all the fuss came from those pictures but to you, Jesse, keep doing what you do and enjoy living in such a beautiful place.  I'm fairly certain that from what I've read, you are not an "outlaw".

To those of you that were so quick to attack a fellow preseason scouter, don't worry, I'm sure he'll still support and defend your rights to scout or view nature however you see fit.  This thread has somewhat sickened me.

I think this whole thread got out of control real fast....
I think there are some pieces missing as well that moderators removed...
I do have to agree with Rik, however, that a salt block, even one that has been removed, could very well be interpreted as "baiting" according to Idaho law...
Salt for elk is a bit like ice cream for us.  Certainly we don't need it.  We get plenty of calories and nutrients from other foods we eat.  But we sure do like it, and if it's there, we rarely say no.  Once the "addiction" to a mineral lick or salt block or a salt infused area has started....
as far as ethical I am divided.  

Jesse, good on you for doing pre season scouting.  Right there it says you are passionate about your sport and care about your time in the field...

Anyway, my point is this got way out of control way too fast.  We all need to simmer down, we are all here for the same reason and all "out there" for the same reason as well.  We can disagree with each other's methods, recurve vs. longbow, baiting (or conditioned in this case) vs. not.... but that  doesn't mean we are attacking each other.

Apologize to everyone who thought I was attacking Jesse and what not. Not my intention. Just a difference in opinion, that is all. No disrespect intended to anybody. Had to make this clear. T

I think sometimes everyone is just a little too quick to judge... I am guilty of this myself... There are many things I read about on this site that I dont personally agree with, but I try not to hijack someone's thread just to preach to him/her MY ethics and MY opinions.

We all need to stick together for the benefit of the sport, not crucify each other over MINOR disagreements.

Jesse,

Thanks from a flat lander (miserably stuck here in the south but feeling the mountains calling) for posting your elk and wallow pictures!

Jesse, ditto what Chuck said.  I wish I could get to Colorado before Sept. to do some scouting.  Even though we know the area we are going to hunt, it would still be nice to get out there and do a little scouting.  Good luck when season comes in.  I think I'll go get out last years pics.   :)              BOB
