Usually we see more than that. the berries didn't seem to be ripe yet. saw lots of deer with some nice bucks, one went about 24-26 wide and nice and tall, he was bedded 50 yrds off the road and just stood there looking at us hope he stays around till rifle season. The boy shouldn't have any problem filling the doe tag.

I was in a different spot on the west side but was thinking the same thing. I was not sure if it was just the elevation, too early in season or lack of water...

We also saw a curious doe.

Saw some choke cherries that were not ripe and a few of the usual spots that the blue berries were still not in. May head back over later this month, but I need to start the scouting this week end for peaches ridge elk. may take a week end and head down to the coast to one of our other bear spots to try and get the boy a bear.

I could count on one hand how many ripe berries I saw. Needless to say we didn't see any bear either. I'm hoping another week or two should bring the berrys on.
