Title: Not much high hunt talk?
Post by: deerhuntr4885 on September 15, 2013, 10:06:45 PM: Where is all the high hunt talk? Is the opener timing keeping people home? I am headed out Tuesday for a few days. It killed me not to be there now. Good luck to everyone out there. I hope you are riding out this storm. Kinda glad I am not in a tent right now, listening to my horses freak out.

I had spotted a couple of bucks across a basin and we decided to go after them. we ended up jumping the big buck out of its bed at 25 yds and my buddy couldn't get it in the scope, kind of a bummer but it happens. It was a blast and had a billy come into camp saturday morning around 2 am and he didn't leave until that storm came through last night. That was one heck of a storm by the way.

Killed a ram yesterday, and I am thinking I am just gonna skip the high hunt and go chase the bucks I was going after with archery, with my muzzleloader in a couple weeks. Could use some money working until then anyway.

We were in the ALW this weekend. Went in Friday afternoon and came out yesterday afternoon. Weather was pretty crazy Sunday night. I've not ever been in a tent with that much rain, lightening & thunder :yike:

Didn't see any bucks. Learned a lot, as this was our first high hunt, chalked it up more to a learning experience :tup:

Will be back next year.

Either way, being in the woods is worth it! Which side were you on?
