Title: Summer Scouting
Post by: BuckHunter23 on July 24, 2011, 11:29:50 AM: Just got home form a quick scouting trip. Saw quite a few bucks, and was able to catch a few with the camera. Sorry for poor quality, as these were taken from several hundred yards away using my binos and point and shoot. Take a look at the buck bedded down. Nice rack, pictures don't do him justice. Probably 25-28" wide. Nice 3-pt with him. There were 3 other bucks in this group, all small 2 pts. Saw anther group the night before with a couple dandy bucks. On the way out after a long morning hike we spooked another buck out of the drainage below us. Could't get the camera up fast enough, but I would put my money on it that it was pushing 30" :yike:. Made the one bedded down look like a small fry. Had a great time and can't wait to get back up there for a couple more trips before the season.

Post by: BuckHunter23 on July 26, 2011, 01:21:33 PM: :chuckle: Yeah, would have to come up with a serious game plan for getting down and then back out if I went for any deer in this area. Was awesome to see though. Wish I would have got pictures of the last one we saw. Hoping he likes his area and sticks around for the season. :mgun:
