Hey man, sorry for the delay, just saw this.. So I had a great time on my solo hunt. Saw a few deer, no bucks, but the weather was crazy! Thanks to google earth I was able to find my camp spot in the dark as I got a late start and had to make a large detour to buy my actual tag at a Walmart!
I had thunder, lightning, flash flood rains, super hot weather and windy dusty as well!
My GPS wasn't working (I've since replaced) but I had a pretty good idea of the lay of the land from my couch scouting on google earth.. Never shot an arrow, but had a blast. I'm actually headed back out in a few weeks to hunt a little pre-rut action. It will be interesting to see how the same area looks in a different season. I did run into a few guys driving in a jeep that said they were seeing bucks all day long a few miles further up the canyon, so i think I'm going to hunt that area this next time. It's about 4 miles further up this horrible dirt road.. I've marked a few waypoints on my GPS from Google earth to hunt so I'm pretty stoked! Hopefully a little less rain this next time out!
