2 weeks out from my muzzleloader deer season. Decided to keep the Williams sights on the gun instead of the scope. Sorted through geer tonight and going to shoot the gun after work to make sure I'm still good after elk season.
So Friday is our last hunt day. Connor heads back to where we hunted the night before. He spends the day there. I still hunt and do a bit of sitting quiet maybe mixed in a few cow calls here and there just above camp. Walked up a ridge for some cool pictures.
After dark it's time to call it...
Thursday morning was solid rain again so we decide to jump in the truck and try to access a different area for a bit of a scouting trip. Big gate and signs blocking that road so we call it quits on that plan. There's a CPW office not far so we drive over there for some local Intel. Yes that road...

Over the course of a couple days we learned alot...
The following morning we get back to where we found the sign and head in to sit and try and cow call a bit. We see tracks and scrapes and after sitting a bit we get a strong smell in the wind. I guess that's my first smell of elk I'm thinking but we did not see any.
Now on wendsday I need to...
Camp number 1
First morning wake up to rain. The boys are all about it and head out to a glassing spot he scouted out before. Since it's raining I stay in camp and drink coffee, and I'm OK with that. Alot of the area is fogged in so they
come back after a couple of hours. Just as they got back...
