Scott & I dry out Thursday & Friday morning, and decide to check out a few areas he knows usually have some elk. We hang a treestand in one area I had an encounter with a big bull a few years back. After hanging, we sit & listen for a while. At around 1:30 some bulls bugle below, the stage is set for tomorrow am. I decide it`s time for an all day sit (nice break from walking my keister off). Some random pics around my stand.

Guys, It took Brian many years to accomplish this goal. I think he's still savoring it... OK Brian, let's get on with it!

Out to the stand Saturday before light, sit until noon, break for lunch with a little walk. Back in for the afternoon. No elk sighted or heard. I could not believe with all the sign an elk would not show if I sat all day. Oh well, nice day anyway.

On the drive back I think I got a little deflated, & I think Scott could sense it.

We decided to take a little break, do some sheep scouting with the family( Scott has a coveted bighorn tag in all this, but he is trying to break my elk jinx so he doesnt have to listen to me whine anymore   :)  

Nice to see some neat new country & scout for sheep. We have a great time on the mountain with Janet, Owen & labdog Matty.

I decided to try a new spot Sunday evening. Scott & i did a little poking around , he has killed elk in there before & it looked promising to me. A large area logged off a few years ago. Some think the clearcutting is ugly, but I cut my teeth on hunting cuts for deer, this "ugly" stuff was right up my ally.

Sunday evenings really seem to quiet down in the mountains, all the day hikers & such are back in the city. This day was no exception. I could feel something was going to happen that night, sometimes you just get a feeling, ya know?

An hour before dark I decided to try a bugle, something we dont normally do. There is just too much human activity, but I felt I needed to stir things up.

I let a bugle rip & get an answer instantly. Alright! One more answer by me back & he bugles a lot closer, here he comes. Now I am getting excited. I can see an awesome rack coming up my ridge.
