    Went out yesterday to hopefully connect with a elk or deer. Not much to report. I drove up to camp early yesterday morning. My nephew got married Friday so I didn't get up there Friday at all. The Morning was beautiful but no animals. We had a good thunder storm hit us in the afternoon. So the afternoon/evening hunt was a little latter and wet. Did but a stock on a little 2 point buck (that would be a 4 point back east) but he busted me.

    Did meet a guy from Delaware that drew a big bull tag. He asked if he could hunt in the area we were in. So I told him he could sit in my stand if he wanted. So hopefully that will turn out well for him.

    I go back up Wednesday thru Saturday I will report on how things go next Sunday.

    Looking forward to your next report. Very cool that you offered your stand to him. I'm sure he'll remember that forever and hopefully pay it forward. Good luck Carp.

    Those are some nice looking elk. I was up chasing both Muleys and Elk on Saturday, and like you, got on a nice two point, but couldn't maneuver through the grove as well as I would have liked to, so I backed out trying not to pressure him. That worked wonders as he came back to where we spotted him. The problem was I was on the other side of the canyon.

    Good luck. Like it was said, hopefully you're next update has some pictures of your big bull down
