I'm going on my first elk hunt at the end of October in Nevada's Jarbidge wilderness. I went scouting last week and found a nice bull right off the bat as well as some lesser bulls in another area. I saw the nice bull two mornings in a row. First morning I spotted him up high laying in the sun. Later he got up and fed into the trees. Second morning I was in my same glassing spot a little earlier (at daylight) and I saw the same bull on the same mountain but much lower. He was standing but bedded in the sun. Again, about two hours later he got up (same time in the morning) and fed into the trees. I assume he is warming up while bedded in the sun and when he gets hot he goes and beds into the trees. In the evening the sun is too brite to glass that mountain from that angle. I'm guessing that he gets up in the evening or at night and feeds his way to water and then feeds part or most of the night. Does anybody want to add to what I can expect this bull to be doing all day or evenings. Should I expect to see him on the same mountain in a few days? fatrooster.
