Title: Re: Whiteriver unit scouting.
Post by: Duckslayer89 on August 21, 2015, 11:07:31 PM: 1 nice buck 10 cows for me tonight up in 653. Awesome spot. Watched them run around and jump in the water all night. Friend was 150 yards from me and I met up with him at dark on the trail, he told me he had two coyotes at 30 yards but didn't shoot them because he didn't want to ruin the bear hunt. They would have seen lead if they ran in front of me. We both agreed next time coyotes go down.

Post by: beaslayer6 on August 22, 2015, 04:37:19 AM: Im pretty sure i was watching you to from the other side .tge two coyote were cool to watch. They where about 75 yards below him just where he couldnt see thrm all night.Where you guys in shorts?

Ya haha that's awesome dude were you guys across the canyon from us? I'm not sure how to get over that way unless you just hiked around the ridge line? Do you see many bears up there? Small world dude....
Title: Re: Whiteriver unit scouting.
Post by: beaslayer6 on August 22, 2015, 09:23:43 AM: here and there was there any berries on that side. I have not had time to get over there. been how we just had a kid 11 days ago. there's a trail that you can hike around the ridge to the road we where on. much easier hike that way then coming up from the lake side. plus you can see the hill better.
Title: Re: Whiteriver unit scouting.
Post by: Duckslayer89 on August 22, 2015, 09:33:24 AM: Ya there was a ton of berries still and fresh bear sign. I didn't see a road across from us I'll have to check that out Im down for an easier hike especially if you get something down...
