Alright so, no deer this evening but to my absolute shock and delight I saw 2 cow elk and a calf. When I saw the head of the bedded calf sticking out from under a juniper at 650 yards my first thought was “ that is too red to be a deer”. Unfortunately I left the phone case for my Olin rig laying on the seat of my truck. I wanted some video. Bummer, but oh well. There could have been a half dozen deer on another part of that slope and I would have never known it. I watched elk until dark. Didn’t have elk sightings on my bingo card for today being I was hunting in juniper and scrub oak country. I was sitting at 4800 feet the elk were at 4600.
Great day to be alive!
