Post by: Little Dave on September 01, 2010, 09:52:42 AM: Yes, really good morning. Saw deer in a swell location Tuesday night, so I sat up on a brushpile there by 5 this morning. Mist was heavy turning to rain for about 20 minutes then back to a mist. Heard a twig snap about 50 yards off behind me. I had a doe with three fawns there. The doe couldn't figure out what wasn't right about the brushpile and she hung around it for about a half hour, came within ten yards with two of her fawns, the other was browsing to my left about 20 yards. Two other deer were in there, yearlings. One a buck with antlers as long as his ears. Off to my left about 100 yards three elk, a 2x2, cow, and calf were reclined at the base of the cleared slope. Two more elk were up at the top of the hill.

Going solo tomorrow.

We use to sneak in a few hours before school almost every day. If you got one then you were sick that day. Or if you spotted one a long ways away. :chuckle:

we had late starts every Wednesday my senior year. We would meet up early for breakfast then go hunting, fishing or go ride the horses up in the hills before school started. If it was looking like a good day we'd just skip and have fun all day.

Post by: Gringo31 on September 02, 2010, 11:43:06 AM: I went out last night had these guys at 33 yards. The first 2 pics were about 25 yards from each other (left to right) They would look and went back to grazing. Much too early in the season for bucks like this. Who wants to be done hunting anyway?

I was hoping I didn't run into this guy again. I'd prefer to wait but not sure I could. I like his little kicker and a small double brow.

I love that quote, I'll use that motto this year. Just worried I won't have the time like last year to get a decent buck.
