[pg83]

thanks for the pics and vids. Looks like you had a great time out there.

[BimmerBob]

Glad to hear everything went well on your scouting trip Wayne, nice clips. That one in the very back of the first looks like a monster, but he is being a ghost...

[Pioneerman]

Looks great, I am sure your fall season is planned out already

[Chuck]

Well that camera works just fine. Thanks. That bear sure looks like someone I met once - blonde on top and black below. Keep up the good work Wayne!

[Jelvis]

Animals walking around in broad daylight? What's wit dat?

[deeks1989]

awesome videos Wayne! I have seen 2 monster wtd that go over 160 + but just got short little videos of them heading over banks and into the timber......Good to see your getting some footage!
shaun.

[gutpile]

Funny how the elk notice the cam ,i wonder if the cam looks out of place or they can smell it.

[BlacktailStalker]

They smell it.
Nice work buddy, finding game in this heat is a good indication of whats yet to come.

[buckwild76]

thats awesome, i can only hope to get some results like that when i go up to check my cam next week. Good for you, I bet you enjoyed the solitude of just being out there.

[rollingrock]

Just keep that picture of your ex-wife handy though Wayne; just in case you get any funny ideas about changing things.:mrgreen: That will remind you of Hell instantly.

[835]

Nice pic's!
Wish i could be doing that!

[bearass]

Great pics 47 looks like you had a good 6 day scout.

[hunter1947]

Nice pic's!
Wish i could be doing that!

One day your day will come when you can do what I am doing ,you just got to put your time into the work field.

Think one thing when you go to work its pensionable time you are working for so you can do the same when you retire http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif..

[2slow]

Great pics and videos. Did you run into anyone else scouting your areas?

That is what i keep telling myself! I keep buying a lotto ticket to possibly expidite the process :mrgreen:

[rifleman]

nice job on the pics & vids. looks like you are living in a great area now.
nice to be able to get out in the bush. can't wait until hunting season.

[hunter1947]

There where no others that I saw when in there.

The only thing I had trouble with is moving from one spot to the next there where logging trucks empty and loaded everywhere ,thank god for my radio it paid for itself on this one trip :-D..

[sawmill]

Glad you had a good time Wayne,I haven`t been on here for a while,the computer machine died on me.

[moose2]

HI Wayne
It looks like your scouting is going to pay off for you. Looks like you will be having lots of early BAR - B - Q's.

I hope it will pay off for the opener of bow season ,you see we can shoot any adult animal that shows bone on its head so the 5x5 that I filmed are legal to take in bow season.

I know that I am looking for a bull elk in the 350+ range but if I called in a very nice 5x5 in the bow season I would have to some real quick thinking ,should I take him or let him walk ,this would be a last moment decision.

I have never taken a bull elk with a bow to me any bull elk with a bow is a challenge just to get one on the ground ,something I have to really think about in the next month ??:confused:??.

I will be headed back out for a weeks camping scouting in the third week of Aug to see if the deer ,elk are in areas that I saw them on my last scouting trip in July..

[Kody94]

..the computer machine died on me.

LOL. Have you been watching "The Good Guys"?

Any hassle with a license or anything on that Wayne? I think the safety benifits would encourage the logging companies to look the other way if you are on their frequency.

[elkhunter1]

Thank, 47 for great info on Icom 2200H.
You can listen to logging truck,s
using 148 b- 174 MHZ. ???
Looking for one where did you get Your,s ?
will be heading to Cranny 20 th Sept. ELK & W. Tail.
Thank,s

Yes you can ,just set your frequency and your good to go ,I can go any where in the EK and channel in :-D..

[demlake]

@sparkymacker

Shouldn't be any trouble with the radio. The loggers want you to know where they are, and vice versa.

[hunter1947]

When the 15 of Aug comes I will be going hard trying to pin point where the elk and WT ,Mule deer are.

Have to make sure the elk are in the same place in mid Aug for the opening of bow for the first of Sept ,will see what some areas in the WK have to show I might head down there for rifle if it looks good ????.

I have to head back out next weekend and set my trails up for the remainder of the next 4 months.

[elkhunter1]

Good luck on Your next scouting trip.
Looking forwar to great Pic,s
thank,s again for Radio info.

Hi Wayne,
it's been nice watching your threads and seeing what you are up to. Living the dream out there!
Where did you purchase your radio? Did they have to program the different frequencies or can you use all of them? Looks like a nice unit.
