Title: Lick Creek, adventure w/ photos
Post by: huntinluva on October 08, 2014, 09:18:35 AM: We decided to try out Lick Creek for muzzy deer this year. No luck on any bucks though we did have our chances. I left with a profound respect for that country, one I had never seen or explored before. The long drive and hard hiking proved to be well worth it. The old adage of a successful hunt is not determined whether or not one notches a tag reigns true on this adventure. I saw 6 different bulls, all courting their harem or trying to infiltrate the herd, numerous does (too many to count), 2 Bighorns and some breathtaking scenery. Wanted to share with the group. Bulls pictured were shot through a spotting scope and binos, semi blurry but good nonetheless (2 of the 6 seen). Cell phone pics with editing turned out okay in my opinion. Enjoy!
