Last year I put a game camera on some elk beds in a area where we often see elk. I got several pictures of elk in the beds, they used them about every other day. Opening morning I set up 30 yards down wind from the beds. About 9:30 elk showed up but I got busted drawing back my bow. I sat there two more times with no luck. My wife bumped a bull while still hunting the area late in the week. I am thinking of putting a treestand near the beds and wondered if anyone has had any luck doing this. We sit water afternoon and evenings depending what our game cams show. The beds could be a good morning hunt. We hunt opening week in Oregon and have had limited success calling that early.
