I'm in my second year of the Ded. hunter program but this will be the first time I've hunted archery since 2006. I won't take a shot unless it's closer than 30 yards.killerbee wrote:AWESOME post ridgetop!
looks like a couple dandy bucks- are you archery hunting them? or do you have the dedicated tag where you get to hunt them all 3 seasons?
pretty sweet, I'm looking forward to watching it play out!
There's always next year

Live to hunt, hunt to live.

Re: Quest for the bigger one....
I'm not completly up on it all, but can you fill BOTH of your 2 out of 3 years deer tags in 1 year? I'm going to start watching this one play out!ridgetop wrote:I'm in my second year of the Ded. hunter program but this will be the first time I've hunted archery since 2006.

Re: Quest for the bigger one....
killerbee, you can only take one deer per year or 2 out of 3 years that you've signed up for.

July 21st,
I only had a couple hours to look around this morning before I met up with the sheep tag holder, so I went out at first light and just hiked up above a road where I always thought a certain area could hold a good buck or two. Although I really wasn't in country the sheep had been seen in before, I was hoping to turn one up. I had heard they were moving further South on the mountain, so maybe there was a chance. Well no sheep but I did turn up another nice buck.
Here's the video.

Later in the morning I met up with the sheep tag holder and his son and I showed them around a little. Then I decided to check on my trail cam on another mountain in the afternoon. So we parted ways and off I went to check on the cam.
When I got to the camera, there was over 3,000 pictures taken in the week it was there. HOLY CRAP. Come to find out, the strap that held the camera to a tree was blowing in front of the sensor.
I did get one good picture of the tall buck that I got a picture of bedded.

Nice critters good luck this year
Re: Quest for the bigger one....
I had to work a lot of overtime this week and did a camping/fishing trip out to Vernon, which I didn't even take my binos or camera out ther with me. Talk about self control. This was going to be about the family, not out looking for deer I can't even hunt.
Anyway, July 29th,
there was a big wildfire burning to close for my liking near one of my trail cams. So I went out and pulled it before something happened to it. I did get a few more bucks coming in but nothing huge. This area may become a "plan b" area if "plan a" doesn't pan out.
