[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 182696, member: 307"] Guy, Nice buck and thanks for the hunting advise. It's kinda coming together for me now. Starting to see more and more game as I travel around Washington, Oregon, Idaho and occasionally Montana. When I first got here I kept telling myself, "there's no way anything can live out here in the open". Wrong answer. Last Saturday, while unsuccessfully coyote hunting, I spotted 10 mulie does and 1 cow elk. I had just previously looked that way and glassed it, I thought. Bam! there they were. I watched them for about 20 minutes and decided to ease out and leave 'em. Turned the Jeep around to leave and there were two small mulie bucks across the road looking at me from about 200yds away in a hay stubble field. I proceeded and they took off running away from me but cut back and crossed the road behind me. I stopped to glass them and get a better look at their racks and they "disappeared". For a few moments I couldn't figure out where they'd gone. I kinda thought they might have squatted in the hay stubble, as it's about knee high (I guess it's hay, it's yellow anyway :). I took out my "K'meer deer" fawn distress call and gave it a few loud screams. Sure enough, the smaller of the two stood right up. I thought it kinda comical. the buck saw me and knew that gig was up. I could see the other buck squirming around a little and I could imagine him tugging at the smaller buck saying "sit down stupid, he'll see you!" The small buck slowly sank back down and I watched their ears and antlers just above the stubble for about ten minutes and left. I'm gonna keep a "distant" eye on them till next season. Hopefully they'll still be there. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
