It was another good day - and another day without shooting a buck. My son and I saw 25 deer throughout the day, including one small spike buck who was still hanging out with mom and the gals. Our day was one of driving to likely locations, then hiking into position, and glassing for bucks... No such luck. Some of the driving was a little interesting, and much of the walking was ah... notable... The fall colors were outstanding! Here's a few photos:





Not sure where I'm headed tomorrow. Didn't see any worthwhile bucks today but did find the tracks of one monster buck - tracks as big as my fist. Might head into higher country in the Cascades and see if I can locate any bucks getting pushed down to lower elevations by the snow...
Getting out for open - country mulies just makes my whole year! Would be nice to get a buck, but I have to admit that I just plain like being out there, hunting...
