Post by: boneaddict on July 22, 2009, 04:43:03 PM: please don't ask and please don't guess. Thanks. Probably shouldn't even post but thought someone might like to learn something. The Red X's mark where the bucks are laying.

I have heard that the bigger ones will go to the top and look down at the smaller ones.

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on July 22, 2009, 05:14:55 PM: I dont have to ask or guess, I have been there! I think I have some pictures around somewhere a lot like that. I also got pictures of some goats real close to there. (If it IS the same spot) I know a lot of places look the same, but the 3rd and 4th pictures look just like some I have of a couple nice bucks I took a couple years ago.

Post by: boneaddict on July 23, 2009, 07:12:46 AM: The biggest one was right smack in the middle. Have to get him going to water right at dark. It was interesteing to see how he kept himslef in the middle the whole time. The top one in this case was about the only easy kill.

Good luck with that.

I also find it interesting was in the middle, surrounded by his followers ready to take the shaft for him!!!!

That's what they say about prison shower time as well, which is why if I ever end up in the big house I'll want someone to send me some "maximum cavity protection" toothpaste. :P :dunno: :yike: ;) :chuckle:

Post by: Hornseeker on July 24, 2009, 04:29:29 PM: Cool... that is very cool... the area I will be hunting this year has a LOT of high rock... I better keep an eye up there!!
Title: Re: X marks the spot
Post by: Todd_ID on July 24, 2009, 07:51:07 PM: Cool idea Bone! Any more innocous info that you could put out: ____-facing ridge, time of day, temperature at photo, high temp for the day, proximity to water and food, proximity to agriculture area or towns, approximate elevation, stuff like that. Not trying to find your hole, but I'm sure there are lessons here that you could teach volumes about without giving up where it is.

Post by: boneaddict on July 24, 2009, 07:57:29 PM: Photo was takin between 4 and 5 o clock .......about 7,000 feet. LOoooooNG WAYS from the nearest road. Sun had been cooking those rocks for hours. Temp was triple digits in town. It was hotter than hell.
Title: Re: X marks the spot
Post by: Todd_ID on July 24, 2009, 08:21:05 PM: Surprising to hear of them staying in the sun that long on a hot day. Must be water somewhere close that they would get up and wander over to a couple times each day? Our deer lay in whatever shade they can find until the sun goes down; then the *censored*s come to eat my fruit trees to nubs and drink the dog's water; until September, that is, then they turn into fruit flies until November. :bash:

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on July 25, 2009, 10:35:50 AM: I have seen that they like those open areas to take advantage of wind to keep the bugs away from them. Those things can be annoying! Shade is good, but cool shady areas, well you know......
