Cold Weather Youth Doe - Desert Unit
« on: December 19, 2021, 08:57:29 PM »
Taking the boy over this week to try and fill his youth doe tag in the Desert Unit.  Late December mule deer hunting is new for me.  Any suggestions with this cold spell and some snow coming in?

Dress warm, I would imagine it will be pretty easy to find a doe this time of year.  They should be up and moving all day long.

Congratulations guys! Love that big ol smile!

Congrats!  Been on that hunt a few times with my son.  Pretty fun chasing those things through the desert.

Oh heck yeah.  Great job, great smile and great memories.  That deer is going to be delicious.

Congrats.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Good job Grandpa!

I love the basin when the grasses start to green after fall rains through to June when things brown off in the heat. Nothing like the smell of sage on your clothes.  :tup:
