Had great time- weather was a tad hot and the bulls were quiet but hunting still beats working all to hell. I’ll throw up a a few pics and a bit of what behind em’.
Day 1
Spent the first day scouting an old burn that had good browse coming back in- lots of deer and a goodly number of bucks but stalking was tough- hot, dry, too many eyes, and too little cover.
Watched the bucks feed out around mid day- some stayed bedded out in the burn but quite a few others I noticed heading for a finger of unburned trees that crept down an adjacent ridge.
I set up a small ground blind of brush off one of the main trails heading into this bedding area and hunkered down in the tall grass to began my wait for the evening feed.
Didn’t have to wait long either as deer began moving back and forth along the trail.
I passed on a couple of small bucks and began to get a game plan for the following morning- it was time to pack in a tree stand to place on the edge of the bedding area!
This one had Moosie's name written all over it....
Couple that bounded out of the tall grass
Hiked back to the truck and met up with my partners- both of them had also seen decent bucks but couldn’t close the deal on the stalks….tomorrow it looks like a couple of more tree stands will be on the hill!
