Scouting

[Idaho Ron]

So I was out scouting for a ML antelope hunt for my son. I got to the first water hole and it is dry :idunno:
I got to the second and it has been almost drained. I am thinking what the heck is going on. This morning I found out what is using up the water. And there is a lot of them. I put in for a tag but didn't get one. Ron

Man, those are some nice pictures. It's odd to me to see elk out in the sagebrush like that. Here they are pretty much in the forest. Is that how it looks, the elk being pretty far from cover?

Nice Pics. That is cool.

Mike, Yes. Here in Idaho since the wolves were brought back the elk that stayed the the trees are eaten. The ones that got out into the open are doing better. You often hear guys say that elk were plains animals. Well I know why. There were wolves back then. There is not a grove of trees for 20 miles in this area. The bed down in the sage and grass, and in the shade of rocks. Ron

Mmmmmmmm. That looks like a nice sight to see over a barrel.

Good luck on the speed goats! Hope they show.

A very interesting point, based on the different predators, and one of the predators doesn't set seasons. :grin:

And if you had drawn an elk tag, the water hole would be surrounded by antelope...I know first hand how that game is played.... :idunno:
