I was wondering if everyone would care to share summer scouting trip reports and photos as the summer progresses? There are some members who do not have the luxury of summer scouting trips. You do not need to give your unit. I personally would not since non-members can search this site.
Here is some information that may help each person who hunts in your State.

Please add to this list.
I am doing 3-4 scouting trips this summer in Central CO west of the Continental Divide. I start going in mid-June and do at least one per month. I do not usually look for elk on my scouting trips. I hang trail cameras at travel locations that are good locations for August & September.
