Started scouting this weekend, and will be going back every second weekend and learning as much about the land, and finding the sign, and maybe even catching a glimpse, as I am able to before opening to zero in on the few spots in the larger area that I think I may be able to make something happen.
I was wondering what your guys take on these rubs are, if you guys can tell if they are Elk or Moose, there are also WT and MD here but I hear the Deer go lower before the rut(MD anyway), but may not be accurate. Anyhow some of these rubs are much to large to be Deer. On this one sidehill in particular as you will see whatever this is is ATTACKING the Birch/Aspen(not sure which trees they are).
I know Elk tines are sharp and Moose dull, I don't have much experience differntiating the two in terms of their sign (rubs/scat/tracks) I have only been a Deer hunter up until this year.
All last years, found some ones from the year before and previous years, some don't look that tall in the photos but some were as tall or taller than me and I am 6'3.
Also the scat I have found I am sure there are both Elk and Moose, Elk seems to be more shorter and rounder and more of a teardrop shape with dimple? Where as most of the Moose scat I have found over the years tend to be like the shape of the tip of my inner middle finger
