Default Today’s set up

I had another hour (just a bit over, actually) today, so I headed to the field trying to spot an elk. For the first time ever, I brought… (drum roll…) A chair! Lol. So I was hunting out of a chair for the first time in my life! Here is the set up:



Hahaha. Quite comfortable, actually. Except for the wind that was brutal! It was above 12 degrees, but I should have brought my gloves.

Mulies walked around plenty. This one jumped over the fence and almost walked into my spot, but walked by on my left and on to feeding right behind me:



This one too:



A few more were around:





The only elk that eventually showed were two cows and a calf, but that was too little too late for a pic, as dark was setting in (maybe 5 minutes before lights out or so). I can somewhat see them on my phone, but uploading makes it even worse:



It’s that distortion right in the middle of the pic, a distance away in the field, lol.

Busy tomorrow, but hopefully hard day of hunting the valley on Sunday. No chairs there, lol.

Hope you all having fun!

I know you were hunting elk, but that buck was a shooter in my books. Kinda blurry but deer meat is yummy.

Really great stuff. On such a short trip it’s so rewarding to see game

What a great thread.

When you say "gates at the end of the corridor", are you referencing the peace river pulp resource road?

Thanks. Reread page 2 and 3 just now. Great memories… Remeber every day as I went through it. One of the benefits of this type of threads, lol.

I may help out with some intel later on (whatever that is worth). It seems I provided plenty as I read through it.

I believe that is what some refer it to it. East Hall Road is what it is officially called.
