Not a single response form elk today. Nada. Lots of mule deer. One buck was big (no giant by any means) and beautiful that I had to get close to take a photo. Had two drop tines but just beautiful and I usually do not like "irregularities" in the antlers. This guy was something else. Long story short, got to within 25-30 feet to him, took out the camera and the lense malfunctioned and made a loud "grrr". Obviously the dude took off. Should have just taken a pic with the phone. Really wish one of us had a mule tag.
We might move on to the "usual" and familiar place this weekend; if not and no success, the next weekend for sure.
