Do you know where his place is? He might be a neighbor!
Elkton. Valley just a couple miles out of town.
Well not a neighbor. Elkton is probably 450 miles west south west of me. Great country down there in that South West part of the state, Good Roosevelt, Black Tail deer and Black Bear country.
I didn’t have a tag for Starkey first season but took my nephew hunting. He and his dad drew the tags but my Brother in law died just before the hunt. We found quite a few elk, nephew was holding out for a good bull. We found one but he missed his shot. He was having a pretty hard time with the loss of his dad, was talking to him, if you will, when he squeezed the trigger. The back ground through the fog, behind those six bulls, is the Starkey unit.
Most times I have been there I have seen Elk. Every time there has been lots of deer and turkeys. Always nice to see wild game in other parts of the world. It is beautiful country but it does seem to rain just a bit.
You're right that after a long day or period of activity, they could be more cautious or less willing to approach unless they're enticed by something like a cow call, especially if they're tired or hungry.
