[david long]

Thanks Nick.

Juan, wish I was sleeping but I can't. I am pumped up.....last day....snow on the mountain.....big deer to be found.....exciting stuff

Ahh I gotchya! Be sure and drink a strong cup of coffee to make up for the lack of sleep!

 

[david long]

Good advice. Will do. Lol.

 

[Juan_ID]

OR you could do what an old guy on the mountain once advised me to do first thing in the morning to perk you up... Take a shot of whiskey! I have never tried it although I have been tempted before, but I HATE whiskey lol!

Best cure for drowsiness is to lay eyes on a smoker buck. Ah hell, i guess that'll cure most any ailment.

It cures tired burning legs/backs too!!!!

Got my fingers crossed on finding the big buck.....never have been one for whiskey

Hey david,

With all of the time you spend in the high country backpacking and camping whether its scouting or hunting, have you ever had any problems with bears coming into camp? Just curious....

Two bucks so far. Earlier spotted a 22" wide buck and am watching a 25" wide four point right now.

......not big enough

 

[david long]

Two more bucks. Both really small. What a difference a little snow makes

 

[ScottR_EHJ]

Sometimes it feels like almost different animals.

 

[david long]

Sreekers I agree. Just spotted a nice six point bull bedded down.

 

[david long]

Here are a couple of pics. They are not very good and you probably can't even see him.

 

[robby denning]

We can see him. Probably go 400 or so.

 

[david long]

I was thinking 500. Lol.
