We drove around and eventually found my phone on the trails. Afternoon 6: Being the last day, we decided to slam some energy drinks and push through every bedding area we knew of. First we started with the north meadow. My dad went up above and set up in the escape route and I worked through...

I got back in and drove to the usual spot. Ducking under the fence, there were about 200 cattle within 100 yards watching me. I started down the trail to my spot and the cattle decided it would be fun to stampede in front of me for the entire damn walk. I got to some small clumps of trees and...

Morning 6: Last day. My dad decided to have me drop him off at a pond way beneath the mesa in thick oaks to see if he could find any bucks we hadn’t messed with. After dropping him off, I took off on the ATV to head up to the mesa and hunt the strip of trees that I’d hunted on afternoon 2...

Lol... was gone on the mountains. Back in the real world now.

Afternoon 5: My Dad went to the north meadow and just saw one fat black bear wander around munching. As I approached my usual spot, I saw the group of big bucks off 400 yards on the other property, but not before they saw me. I watched as they worked way off until they were a mile away. They...

That’d be great [emoji23]

My Dad decided to head down to the meadow and cover that possible escape route, I stayed up to stalk them. There’s a big tree out along the cliff, the one they were next to earlier, and I figured there was a good chance they’d be near or beneath that. I slipped off my boots, drank some water...

Haha thanks Wildlife. And yeah that rangefinder is about done. Heading out to the mountains straight from work tonight so I’ll try to finish it before. If not I’ll have plenty of time midday when the mule deer aren’t moving.

I started to set up in a 30 yard wide meadow that the deer follow down to under the cliff. After a minute, I saw a small buck up on the hill above me and decided that the big bucks might be in the thick bedding just on the other side of the meadow. I decided to take my boots off and push through...

...dad’s first hour... Crossing the open mesa to get to the north meadow you are very exposed. He followed the fence line up then cut across open ground to get above the meadow. There is a 100 yard wide, 300 yard long swale you dip down into before coming up above the north meadow. As he...

Had a ton typed up and then erased it so I’ve gotta wait til I have some more spare time to type it up again. My buddy found the buck that was next to the one that I shot at in Oregon. His right side was hidden from me, if I’d seen that I think I might’ve tried a little harder to not shoot the...

I already typed this up but it got deleted so here goes... Morning 5: Probably the craziest 5 hours of deer hunting I’ve had. I went up to glass over the main valley from my normal spot and my dad headed over to glass the north meadow. ...my first hour... I got up to the point, sat down and...

Looks like he went about three quarters of a mile. I’m going to head up there later this week to grab him and deer hunt. My buddy guesses 350+ but I don’t know much about scoring. His backs are friggin gorgeous. Where he is laying dead is extremely close to where I grid searched so I either...

Afternoon 4: My Dad had to head down to town with my uncle. He had my first archery deer from four years ago and two other deer from three years ago and still hasn’t done the shoulder mounts. I’m extremely pissed off about it but he now knows shit will hit the fan if he doesn’t finish them by...

It’s fun trying to remember everything, glad you enjoy it!

No, I’m gonna have to go hike in and tag it this week and do some deer hunting so I will see. I know I got lungs, I think I just didn’t do enough damage with the small 100 grain kudu broadhead.

Morning 4: The night before, my dad totally screwed up his knee trying to outrun the storm. When my alarm went off he told me to go out and hunt alone. Typically when I go out alone I am much more effective so I was okay with it, although having him along is more fun. I drove up to glass over...

Afternoon 3: We decided to start in about the same spot as the first night. I went up higher to look over the bedding area and the opposite hillside and my dad went 100 yards away to where he could shoot at one of the exit routes of the bedding area. Where he was sitting I shot my two biggest...

11000 feet is no joke, requires a lot of physical training to be able to run around up there. Beautiful area!

Afternoon 2: Went to a different area of the ranch that holds some big deer but is very hit or miss. It’s a small strip of trees that stretches across the widest, flattest part of the mesa. I set up on the high edge and my dad set up closer to the bottom. Both setups had opportunities for...
