Thaks for the kind words everyone. I love this time of year. Now with the camera I get to share what a great place I live and hunt in.

The pic of the small bird looks 3D with the background a bit out of focus. Great pics!

Well I went looking for Bear again today, Found some sign and found some promising little berry patches, but no bears. I did get into a screaming match with a couple of bulls, but they weren't in the mood for pictures and hung up out of sight. Found a few turkeys, but they were on the wrong side of the fence, oh well, they did let me take some pic's. Weather has changed again, back to warm and summerish.

SSSSOOOOO close to getting a doe this a.m., the deer have turned up pretty scarce in my unit. They have moved mostly onto private ground. This morning I caught a handful of does leaving some hay fields and heading into the Oak brush to bed for the day. I circled ahead of them and ended up bumping one of them, so I immediately stated to do a fawn in distress call. I got one of them to come to 20ish yards, but needed her to step clear of the brush for a shot. After a about 30 seconds of staring me to death she decided I was not to be trusted and left the country! I love those type of encounters! Best part was the Elk were screaming all around me the who morning.

The Elk have moved mostly onto private ground also..
 
My wife setting up to wait for deer, she saw nothing.....

You're killing me Jason. I've been hunting the flat tops and Castle Peak WA for over a week and haven't seen my first elk. Have until Sunday to make something happen. Your observation that the elk have moved to private lands rings true. Found LOTS of sign 2-3 weeks old, but very little fresh sign. They seemed to have abandoned the basin we hunted. Found four wallows all with crystal clear water.  Need someone to carry your camera bags?! What are you shooting for camera equipment.

Steve- yep happens every year. Co. has enough huge tracks of land that get little or NO hunting pressure, that the Elk have learned where to go to be safe. Usually right after the first weekend of ML they are movin' out. Also the acorns are comin on strong so look in the low country for them. Get a BLM map and find the little tracks that can get you in behind some of those ranchs. Good Luck!

P.S. I use a Canon Powershot SX30 Si.

That's a nice little camera. And your getting some great shots. We have that one at work (35x zoom right?). My only complaint about it is you can't touch it without accidentally hitting a button! Debating hauling my 40D today. If I can't get elk, might as well get pics!

Not much action the last couple of day's. I sat on a little water hole yesterday, but only had birds come in. There had been a herd of elk in the area, but the had moved on and it was a very quiet day.
This a.m. I thought I would check on a group of bucks that I know are spending their time right on the edge of a big piece of private ( that will not let me hunt without big $). They come right up to the fence sometimes, but never seem to cross when I am there. Today was really no different, except as I was watching the bucks a four point bull came out into the field. He was lonely and looking for company. He walked right at the herd of deer and they ran like he was demon from hell! They actually crossed the fence, and I got excited! They ran about 200 yards and crossed right back into the private and out of sight.....Dang. I was fun to watch anyway. After that I took a long walk around the piece BLM that I was on. It used to be an old homestead and has some neat 100+ year old buildings and things on it. Well I only have two more day's of vacation and hunting season. It has been so much fun, gonna be a bit bummed out when it's over.

This was a nice buck. Kinda dark and far away, so these are crappy pictures.
 
Here they notice the bull.
 
And here is the big bully.
