[TheObserver]

Hey guys, super pumped first year using cams and never looking back.

Worked very hard to find these guys some local BT's and some interior Elk, hopefully get my first Elk this year sure have worked hard

First the BT pretty cool watching their growth (2 week intervals), got 6-7 different bucks so far

These two are the same bucks

They seem to have no problem bedding down at my sites, hopefully they are still that calm and in the area when I am in a stand with an arrow knocked.

I'm reviewing these pics with hungry eyes on repeat lol

Extremely excited for what this year has brought and opening, despite all of the adversity us resident hunters are facing and enduring, wish everybody a great season and congrats to those who won draws!

Very cool. Looks like some decent animals in the areas you have targeted. Hopefully they stick around and you can arrow them. Good luck!

Great pics, thanks for sharing...that one bull elk looks like he will be a 6 pt come the fall season..

[Bugle M In]

That’s awesome.
As long as the area where you have your elk photos around have sign of fall rubs and wallows, you should be good to go.
If not, they may be elsewhere come opening but it shouldn’t be all that far from your cams.

[TheObserver]

Thanks guys, feeling optimistic! Will upload some more pics as summer goes on of the growth

[HappyJack]

The deer racks sure look big with all that velvet on them, which MU are you taking pictures in?

Hahah yeah like clubs, super thick.

The Blacktails are from region 2, Fraser Valley. The Elk are from region 8

Some pretty nice animals. That one elk is gonna be a dandy. Don’t forget to set your dates and time, you will refer back to them often as you add cams and the years go on. It helps to develop patterns. Thanks for sharing your photos.

Oh I know man I f**ked up and jumped the gun too quick got excited lol and just set them up, but will be setting the dates next time I go check them.

Your welcome, glad to share em! i'll post updates here as Summer goes on, cool to see who else shows up and how much everybody grows

[TheObserver]

Here are some pics from I think 3/4 weeks ago, I set the dates and times properly so next time I check them I will know.

Unfortunately the two Bucks that were there every other day have just vanished for the previous 2 weeks before I checked my cam, any idea why that may be? checking too often? moved up higher? maybe they are back though I am going to leave it alone for a month.

The biggest Buck showed up again with some new growth, hoping he branches into a 4.

Here are some Bulls, one again bedding hahaha. The other one I believe to be the Bull I posted already that I think will be a legal 6. Then it looks like a new one I haven't seen that looks massive.

Just a tip that I had to learn the hard way, move you camera quite a bit further back from that salt block, almost to the point that it is not pointed directly at it,,, saves on tons of repetitive pictures.

I like those Stealth Cam pics!
Which model are you using?

[HarryToolips]

Great pics...I find often that the mulies are rovers, they don't stick to the same core habitat as WTs - hence why they'll just disappear sometimes..

[wideopenthrottle]

that salt block is sure working for you

[TheObserver]

They are the "QV16"

It seems like the Blacktails are even worse wanderers/random than the Mulie's, at least the BT's im dealing with anyways

Just recently found out about that salt lick ban in 4 that sucks! I am very novice with this stuff (1st time/year) but I put more cams up in my spots and have one on a watering hole for the Elk that gets the second most action after the lick cam.

Thats too bad man! Really hoping that doesn't happen here or i'm sure it will be hard for me to find where the moved too
