Hey guys, still hanging in the tree. Wx is warm and breezy, winds out of the north carrying the smell of wet, burnt sagebrush from the 300 acre fire we had yesterday afternoon. Dumb camper burning cardboard, people are so careless. Probably cost a $200K to put out w multiple aircraft involved.

Saw 3 cows moving n by the river and then nothing until 2 spikes appeared s of me about 70 yds. They were eyeing the bedding area making sure no lions were about. I knew I had zero chance to get them to move closer to me. Soft called a few times, but they wanted sleep!!!

I’m getting down soon, 1 day left!

Oh geez, you are leaving us on tenterhooks! This isn't as great as when the Red Sox are in the World Series, but it will do!

Did the camper get arrested?
 

@Pepper Never mind being too proud and too stubborn to get the help you need. There's no reason to be miserable when there's help to be had, dammit!

@hawkdon I hope tomorrow's doc appointment results in a positive change for the better!

October is only two days away, but it doesn't look like the temps are going to let up much. Drat. I am sooo ready for cooler days and nights!
 

Good morning/almost afternoon, SF peeps! Just catching up after a busy weekend. Highlight was dinner yesterday. DDIL made Yakisoba. I assume @Pinky is familiar with it - not sure who else is - but I'm here to tell you it was out of this world delicious.

DDIL is an excellent cook who has taught me a lot about Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and other Asian dishes that convert well to vegetarian.

No definite word on the fire's cause yet.

Hopefully the overnight rain and cloudy morning make for early morning feeding and plenty of time to get to their beds w the cloud cover. Tomorrow's wx forecast:

Okay, then. If the animals need time to get to their beds, does that mean you kill them while they are sleeping? Either way,, I am rooting for you!
 
^^^No the bedding area is where they go to spend the day digesting, staying cool, and hiding from humans and lions. Only a lion could (and do) kill one in there.

Hopefully the rain discourages them from feeding all night. The typical pattern is they come out as soon as it stops raining and continue to feed until later on in the morning when they'll go bed down. My tree is btwn the feeding area and the bedding area.

In response to hunting pressure the last 10 days or so they've gone to bed down well before first light. I'm just seeing a few stragglers here and there, not the main herd.

Well stick with it. And stick by your arrows. You'll be proud of yourself when you kill an elk, and so will all of us except for that wimp, @hollydolly ! Apparently she would rather you kill them while they are awake! :cool:
