Bryan and Tom created a "super-bait" using around 6 gutpiles, a rabbit, Claous the chicken (who had recently choked to death on a pea) and some rotten meat that they had X-rayed from the elk butcher.
No activity at any baits.

Major elk slaughter at the base of Blacktail Butte at the entrance to Morman row.
Bryan and Tom spent the afternoon picking up 6-8 gutpiles, a wanton waste carcass shell, and an elk-skin which was later disposed of. All remnants from the pick-up left behind were buried to elimate competition for feeding.
