Morning Search...


Back at the hidden valley this morning looking for that buck. Couldn't find him for a while so we kept moving along the mountain top glassing below us. Came up to this rock outcropping and thought I saw a deer below me. Looked through the glass and it is the small herd of antelope that we have been looking for. They are in the pines acting like mule deer. I have a perfect shot at the buck I am looking for..... 227 yards...

18 Bucks Today...


We explored all the recommended areas from my research and we saw 18 bucks. All were average bucks. This evening we found a buck that seems to be a little longer than the others so we will hunt him in the morning. We found him in this little hidden valley. Most hunters seem to be overlooking it. What a great day in the woods!

Great Start!


After a long night in the truck, we woke up to this view and a whole herd of antelope out in front of us. This is a good sign! The buck is kind of small so let's keep looking...

One Long Night


Pooring rain, muddy roads, hunt camps EVERYWHERE, all pre-chosen camping spots occupied, sleeping upright in the truck, cramped legs, no REM, snoring buddy (some whimpering too), only three hours of semi sleep. AND I STILL FEEL LIKE IT IS CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!! C'mon sun, let's get rocking!!!!!!
