Room for travel trailers?

well we got there and we did some midnight shooting and went to bed about 1 am  we got up in the morning and I made breakfast for the guys and gals  thanks for the wild hog sausage arwin still tastin it right now..

we then went scouting for most of the day and saw about a forty pound coyote  got ants in my pants talked to a elk for a minute or two  ( I am praciticing with my new elk mouth call and got one to talk so I was pretty happy with that.)

we walked in to some pretty thick stuff that was just full of sign
 
arwin in the middle of a couple year old clear cut
 
here is a huge bed that could have fit at least ten deer or 4-5 elk  we found elk and deer poop everywhere in this area and so many game trails you could not count
 
here is arwin coming out of teh thicket with his stand on his back (he could barely walk after that lol)

the sink holes in this area were awesome but very tiring  (arwin and I climbed down two of them and back up)  the first one was so steep  about 70-75 degrees straight up  it was intense and in the bottom there was a bunch of game trails and incuding some 2-3 foot wide bear trails  man was it thick down there  there is a pic of scat that I think was bear that arwin posted if anybody knows please tell us
 
here is another pic of the sinkhole man are they beautiful

Looked like canine poop to me. Not much there if it was people poop.

From the picture looks like Bull DO. As in Elk
Bull DO. Hair in it has no meaning cept they have been coming out of the summer coats. And I see the snake also Ron. Worry not there's not many rattler's up there, but a few!!
