It was a piece of crap day.   I started out in the high country.  I hiked almost up to 8,000 feet.  No snow, just drizzle and fog.  Rian I can handle.  THe fog is a bitch.  It cleared once in awhile, but then socked in tight.  I found three sets of tracks, one of which was a buck and saw one doe.  I abandoned the high country to get out of the fog.  After wearing out my worn out knees, I tried to rustle up a hill in the unit that wasn't fogged in.  I found some country down low.  I left the truck and hadn't gone about a 100 yards and I ran intot he biggest buck track of the year.  It was from a huge buck.  I resisted following him and kept climbing.  Then I found them again, this time a little older.  I climbed some more and found a set going in the same direction but this one was just before the last rain.  I was pretty excited.  I got to a spot and I looked up at all the country.  I said to myself.  Where would I sit if I wanted to see everything so no one could sneak up on me.  I found my spot, raised my binos, and there he was.  FUNNY.  I thought to myself if I can get within 40 yards of him I'll take him just for you guys.  You'll see what I am talking about when you see his pic.  He was a huge ole buck.  I know the country well, so made about a mile circle and exploited the only weak spot where he was at.  I closed to within 50 yards and busted a doe.  I thought crap.  THe doe was below me so wasn't sure how he would respond.  I slipped up exposing myself at 40.  NO BUCK.  I went to where I thought he was and exposed myself there he was about 40 yards below me.  I let him walk.   Kind of still kicking myself jsut because....you guys would have teased me to the end about sooting him but I would have been proud to get within 40 yards int he sage on an 8 year old buck.   Anyway, I continued hunting and saw several more does.  I got pics of another buck as well.
