Valley of the Spikes

We have been hiking and glassing this country big time and all we can find are a few does and spikes.  We haven't spotted a forked horn buck or bigger yet.  Each time we pull up the glass, we expect to see one, but it is just not panning out.  Today we hiked through all of this and didn't jump up anything bigger than a spike.  Oh well.  It's still awesome being out here.
