Just got back from town... it's much warmer than I thought it was.. a really glorious sunny day. I was going to just go and take photos of the local farmland on my way home , but I decided that maybe I'll wait for another day, and just came straight home instead


I will go in a little while and cut back the IVY over the shed.... it grows like crazy, so it's important to keep it cut back....and my gardener doesn't touch the IVY... he would if I asked him, but he'd charge me more money, so I do it myself...:D

Wow, that's really beautiful, @hollydolly!
 

Left the house just after 5am, all was quiet in the neighborhood, didn’t hear or see any elk. Just less than 2 hours later I’m in the tree.

NW wind blowing a steady 12 mph gusting to ~20 mph. The temp dropped to 41F, as the wind carries the cold air down off the nearby mountain ridge tops. It’s the first hunt I can actually say that I’m cold.

All was quiet on my arrival at the parking spot. Hiked in to the river crossing and as I was putting on my rubber boots in the dark , an elk bugled about 50yds west of me. It’s pretty impressive to hear them that close!

There were a couple elk moving around in the vicinity of my tree, so after re changing boots I covered my face and hands and hunted my way to the tree.

The season closes a week from yesterday so I have a few more hunts left. The last 2 days might be rainy so that’ll hopefully be a stimulus for elk activity.
