We found the migration path

We did catch up with one shooter that was chasing a doe . Kinda funny he was only about 100 yards from a hunters rig that had the high power tag

Any body that has or had this tag want to compare notes? We are headed back Wednesday night for the long haul. My wife gets the privilege of trying to do this tag justice, it will be her first HUNT!

The deer around here migrate vertically--They come down as the snow gets deeper in the higher elevations. It's already happening. Each storm pushes them lower. Yesterday I went looking for coyotes, and the higher I trekked, the fewer deer tracks there were. Got up to where there were no tracks in the snow at all. Keep this in mind when you come back to hunt the Mission area. Good luck.

We actually found a big bear track up Ruby

Lots of yote tracks up MT Home first spur off to the left on the way from Blewitt

That buck is definately a shooter, with all the weather we have gotten should be a good hunt for sure, can't wait to see the pics.

That buck is a great buck

Sorry to hear about the conditions

I am hunting in the mud and rain right now! I wish it would freeze! Maybe by sunday night

a cold front is supposed to come threw

Heredoggydoggy · « **Reply #12 on:** November 24, 2011, 07:07:54 PM »

Vary your footsteps so the crunching is random, and the animals won't be as suspicious. Only humans crunch along like the ticking of a clock. (Clocks used to tick, anyway.)

Oh and I would love to see the other pic of that buck to see his forks

Yea I know a guy that got a big buck during the Mission late rifle. Good luck

Ridgerunner · « **Reply #19 on:** November 28, 2011, 06:53:48 AM »

Definately a quality buck, good luck finding him again.

Indeed a dandy

I used to archery hunt the mission. There are some true giants in that unit.

Seemed like he had a couple of kickers on the right side. would have loved to study him up allot closer
