do you archery hunt, you should guide. If you did I would hire you. I've taken some very nice mule deer but am focusing on a big WT. Biggest WT to date is 120 both in wa and id. wa buck was late archery.

You guys are nice.  I could never guide.  Just ask the gents I took out.  I am a wreck of what happens for that day for them.  It drove me nuts.  WHat if nothing happens....to many variables.  Though I guess I see some deer, it would still freak me out.  I have guided my Dad and my wife to successful hunts, though the most satisfying experience in my life, it was also some of the most stressing.

I got to show Madison a really cool mental picture of these 4 bucks.  I got the spotter on them just as they filed out of the sage single file and had her watching them.  It was pretty cool even for the seasoned vet.  4 bucks and two does.  No rutting activity, just time to eat.

Looks like a muzzle just above and to the left of the first buck.  Broadside, looking to the right. :dunno:

We then went a long ways before we saw any other bones.  We went to the head of a real tough canyon and saw a small one below and she got to watch a coyote for some time.  I think I got him on film.  I got two for sure, so AWESOME for the contest.  Also I didn't know this but she hadn't seen a coyote before.  My other girls see them all teh time.  Anyhow, we checked out that canyon then came back and was headed to the truck and WTH, how did we pass this guy.




YEP!   I have no idea how you figured that out from that angle.  I jsut looked and its nearly impossible.

So we tried a stalk and I got to see him go over the sky line.   DANG IT.  We headed back to the truck and I said, you know what, we can probably cut him off in the next canyon and see him.  Off we went, light fading, time to get Mad back to her mom approaching.....  We rounded the hill and.....
