Day one
The morning was just dead flat. I had a little spork come to the water and that was it. Stayed till 10am and split to go reset some cams. Dad glasses the big hills all morning for zero. Just a slow activity period ?
Mid day-
Went to the tank with the turkey pics and found some other hunters setup on the tank. Cr ap! They have their truck parked maybe 100 feet away so I figure they are just setting up. I wanted my camera back so I walked down. They had a blind set up right out in the open. No brush and front was down like a lemonade stand. They will prob shoot a400 inch bull.
1pm
Found a tank I was told about way out in bfe. Fresh elk sign all over it set a camera and I'll update tomorrow what I find. Great spot for a tree stand. Just wish it was not going to be so cold on Sunday.
When I tree stand hunt up in the angelus NF we hunt trails almost exclusively. Find a trail that's getting used and setup a tree stand. So I spent the early afternoon driving a burn area looking for some fresh trail love. I see one way up on a hill so I hike up and bingo tons of deer and elk sign. Cam set I'll see what's crawling around.
3:45
I'm back in the box this tank has had the biggest bull and the most activity but dead for the last few days. Let's see what comes in before dark
