The Desert unit is a sandy, bug infested 💩 hole.  I've hunted across the west and never have I encountered a place I've disliked more. 


 One of the better area descriptions I have ever read... literally LOL   :chuckle:

Sometimes the stars, moon and sun all align and things come together the way they are suppose to! Karl’s going to shoot a giant, my bet is within the first 3 days.

There is a big caddis fly hatch going on out there right now. I was out there near the Vernita Bridge and the bugs were crazy thick!

Lots of deer, not many with the size people think of for the unit based on my experience last year, albet much later in the season.  Best of luck if you have a target buck picked out!
it's just a numbers game.  Honestly I was a bit surprised to find one with so few bucks looked at (relatively speaking). When you're talking about an animal that makes up less than 1% of the buck population it's a needle in a hay stack ordeal, whether that's the Desert, ID, NV, CO, etc. There's just not very many anywhere.  He'll I'm not even positive he's big enough to make my mark but he's the biggest I've found so for now I'll hunt him. I've seen his driver side really well and his back end on his passenger side but it's always low low light and moving and I've just not made out what his passenger g4 is.  I've got a 45 second video of him but his passenger side is washed out against the sage the whole time. Very annoying :chuckle:
Just picked up a new pair of Klein side cutters, just let me know!

Big boy has been a no show. I've seen all his buddies but he has not read my script I wrote for him apparently  :chuckle: Last couple days have been really unpleasant 🤮
