Been waiting to post this up. Had surgery to repair a torn bicep tendon this AM so lots of time on my hands for a change. Won’t be mentioning locations, and please don’t ask.
I’d been saving points for a few years and decided to burn them on a tag in a location not particularly sought after, but that I thought had a good chance at holding a mature buck. My buddy said he would join me on the hunt after I had assisted him the year prior on a mule deer hunt as well.
We met in the state of the hunt on Wednesday, with opening day set for Saturday and drove to the trailhead. Loaded up packs with a weeks worth of supplies and begin the seven mile trek into camp. It was slow going that afternoon. Buddy had been in his truck for 30 hours driving from the east coast and we made it about 5 miles in before setting up camp for the night. No glassing opportunities as it was densely forested and essentially dark by the time we got set up.
