[QUOTE="RockChucker30, post: 3780453, member: 11855"] Day Four: (Monday) I awoke to rain. Put on the raingear, put on the goretex socks, thankful for waterproof pack....repeat. Rain gets old after a while. I stillhunted through the meadow at the first gray streaks of light, moving silently but for the pitters and pops of rain hitting my gear. I eased past the resident mule deer buck "Spikey", who is dumber than a box of rocks. I should've taken a picture of him. Still hunting for me is more like a series of stands. I move silently and very, very slowly from one good spot to another. I eased up to the side of a big pine and stood there for 2-3 minutes looking and listening. Nothing. I take a half step forward and a cow explodes from the other side of the tree. She'd been watching me for several minutes, trying to decide what I was. She figured it out before I detected her. I would've been packing her out that day if it'd gone down differently.

Along the way not a 1/4 mile from where we'd seen elk on the way in I found the reason they could stay in this area. Water where there isn't supposed to be water.
