COUNTDOWN TO THE HIGH HUNT!!!!

[wrangler]

The best part is sittin on the side of a slope and the sun hittin you in the face for a mid afternoon nap.  Ahhhh true relaxation.  Zzzzzzz

haha, or snow and wind and fog hittin you in the face... ever been on the high hunt? i'll admit it does vary, been on a few trips where i didn't need shirt if not for the bugs! but more often than not its cold, snowy/rainy and windy. at least above 6500k... very unpredictable above the tree line in mid sept. to say the least. im hopin for a skiff of snow and no moon this year! can't wait...

[haugenna]

[wilsongideon]

Anybody ever been here before? anybody know where here is? just curious if i might be seeing anyone in september up here.

[halflife65]

I may, just by the color of the water in that little pond.  Won't say anything about where that it is, though (also, I might be wrong).

just got a call from a friend who went up to alpine lakes to hunt and do some scouting for me for the high hunt.

seen 5 legal bucks, two 2pts, 2 bucks he never got to see, and a handful of does/fawns. he ended up missing a 4x4 with eye guards. and later that day seen the same group and took 2x3.

says one group has a 4x4 with eye guards, the 2x3 that he shot, and 2 other bucks he never got to see what they were, and a 2pt.

i know the basic area. now i just need to get my truck fixed or find someone who wants to go that has a truck.

*note* i dont know how exact his numbers are. but they sound great to me

yes archery of course. 30yd shot with a 51lb recurve. buck ran 30yds before it fell dead. something like a 1/4 mile pack out with him and his girlfriend.
