I'm heading out Thursday morning. READY TO GO!!!!!! Good Luck out there guys!!!

Packout That's Cool that Idaho has that rule. I wish New Mexico had something similar.

Great advice! This is exactly why I wanted to post this. That's the down fall of hunting public land. Do you guys have any stories of situations where you beat someone to a waterhole and had an encounter?

LOL! Great advice. I wont use their stand or blind but will beat them to the waterhole in the morning. I know I would be pissed if I had a blind setup and I get there and a hunter is sitting in it.

You get to your favorite water hole and notice there is a blind setup. Ok someone beat you to it. So you settle to go check another water hole and there is a blind setup there also. We checked 5 water holes and each water hole either had a blind or a tree stand on them. After talking to other...

I was there on Monday. I talked to some hunters and they said an Outfitter placed blinds and tree stand on every water hole and is not using them every day. What do you guys think about this? I think if they are not going to hunt it that day they should take it down. What are the hunting Ethics...

That's what I figured Gator. I think I know where they are bedding. I will move my trail cam to a close by trail between the water hole and the bedding area to see what time they pass. This bull showed up closer to midnight.

That's what I'm hoping! But a lot of it depends on the weather and tons of other things. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

That's what I was hoping Mfresh222. What hunt did are you going on? I also have a couple of cameras out there I plan on picking them up next week. I haven't messed with my honey holes hoping not to disturb them till opening day. Thanks for the Reply!!

Yes its an awesome unit. Just stressing about the Rut timing.

We went scouting this last weekend and did not hear a single bugle. I have the second archery hunt and am trying to see if the Rut is going to be at the normal time this year.

Just got a nice Cow Elk Decoy. Anyone have any tips on hunting with Elk Decoys? Like how far behind you, do you set it up? Do you use Scents? Is it best to set them up by water holes? and what time of day is best to use them? I know everyone has opinions just looking for the ones that have used...
