Take that @Stocker no mustache here but at least there is some good hunting to follow along to. Right now I bet your back in that canyon with no elk because you didn't learn yesterday!

Good work! I’ve got a good bull pinned down in a cornfield with little to no prospects of him coming out in the light.

Rally the troops. ELK DRIVE!

If it wasn’t so green I’d set it on fire.

More live action!

Sorry Marcie, that teal requires no retrieve

Is a good thing I'm well aware of the hooded merganser local population in this spot. Three times this morning I've been buzzed by groups of them and when they are coming in hot and low and straight on, good luck telling the difference between a teal and a brown drab merg

 

[seeth07]

Saw a total of 5 teal. Got two. Missed one. I'll take it.

 

[seeth07]

Back at it this am. Decided to be an idiot and bring both mom and pup. Regretting it already

 

[seeth07]

Pick out the two live decoys. Up to 6 in the deeks now, they aren't educated yet!



Three teal buzzed us at 30 yards, didn't shoot

 

[seeth07]

Ok now I have more live decoys than plastic ones. 15 woodies

 

[seeth07]

Well I officially now know where I should be sitting on opening morning - assuming all of these woodies don't leave. Who wants to go

 

[seeth07]

Well this is a first, an otter! Wtf is he doing here? Never seen one in this area. Guess I'm going to have to set a trap this winter and see if I can get him!

Practicing at 400 yards tonight. Not quite confident there unless it's a perfect rock solid bench shot.

Probably not quite the buck I'm looking for but cool pic. Cousin seeing some bulls wandering around this morning but nothing massive sparking interest for my wife's hunt in two weeks!!! By the way, how is it possible that there is an elk hunt where you can scout from the truck every morning and glass?

 

[seeth07]

Interesting, just got something in the mail from WF&G asking me to submit a tooth from hopefully my wife's bull for aging. Season opened last Thursday. What are they thinking?

Plus side they mentioned the average bull age last year was 6.5. Good thing right?

 

[seeth07]

One week away + a few hours and we will be boots on the ground looking for elk in the desert! Can't wait!!! Anyone in the Rock Springs area right now chasing elk or Antelope? See you soon!

Unlike the pressure you western folks are seeing, hunting is slowly dying back east. So I'm doing my part by taking an 11 yo on her first duck hunt. Deeks set. Its cool, calm and a bit foggy. She is notably nervous. She loves the dogs. I think the dogs help. It is going to be a morning to remember

So cool! Thanks for helping to bring up the next generation and keep the passion going!

Great job! Ducks are a challenge even for a well seasoned hunter. She did a fine job getting those
