Several years ago some friends went Elk scouting, these guys, 3 of them, were all experienced, and from their success in the past, good hunters.

They were going the last weekend that they could scout to their assigned block.

They had a great weekend, saw lots of sign, but no elk. They filmed the area, mostly to help them remember where they planned to camp, etc.

They got home and told their wives they knew there were lots of elk there from the sign, but that they must have scared them off.

As the couples sat there watching the video, one of the wives said, "Isn't that an elk?" and pointed at a spot on the screen. It was, of course! They then started CLOSELY watching the video, and spotted more than a dozen elk on camera!

Needless to say, the wives had a great time with my buddies and their "hunting and scouting" expedition. It still gets told every elk season!
