Just about high hunt time!
« on: August 30, 2021, 12:21:15 PM »
Wasn’t able to get out last year due to a big bull tag hunt going at the same time. I haven’t been out much scouting much but those big bucks are there for the taking. Heading in on the 13th. Good luck everyone!

Hopefully some of these fires die down by then. Some rain would be nice. Anyone noticed deer moving down from the alpine areas due to the drought and lack of feed/water?

It's actually greener up high right now than it has been for the last few years in every spot I've checked up on. Seems like a great year for the herd.

Went up scouting sunday afternoon into Monday. The deer numbers seem pretty low this year in the area I hunt. We’re only looking for two studs  :tup:

Hell yeah.  Good luck folks!!

I'll be returning to my spot in GPW.  We'll see if we have the discipline this year to focus on deer or if we get distracted again by a bear  :chuckle:

I will totally be distracted by bear, and I'm ok with that   :chuckle:

The west side alpine seems as green as ever to me. Even though we are dry down here, these areas pick up cloud water and dew fairly regularly.

The area we bear hunt has a low concentration of blacktail, but the sign I've seen suggests that they are there like usual. Water sources are relatively scarce, but not a limiting factor for deer.

Heading back up on the 16th or 17th.
