Talked to him last night and he gave me a little more info. The area they are hunting is real dry and they had a local tip them about a few water holes that are up high. Adam said there's some water low, but a lot of road hunters to deal with. They spent their first day finding the water and glassing. They ended up way higher than expected and ran out of gas in one vehicle. Left that one over night and came back the next day with fuel and set up for a hunt. Adam and Ryan stayed high while the rest went lower to hunt. The lower group seen nothing but other hunters while Adam and Ryan both seen some deer. Even though it was just does, they were confident enough to go back up the third day. Ryan moved off to a different spot and Adam hunted the water from the day before. Still having bad phone reception, but it sounded to me like Adam had three different bucks at the water including the one he shot. He was going to finish his hunt calling yotes and Ryan was going to take Adam's spot at the water hole. Haven't heard from them today so far.
I'll update when I hear something.
