Not sure if there is any predictability to mast crop concentrations/elevations or if oak brush is like other fruits where they produce well every 2nd or 3rd year. I prob need to make some notes from dropped pins and try to see if patterns develop. I’m still on the hunt for an area w more than a minimal amount of acorns this year.
Spent Monday on the lake w family, was able to do some glassing (6.5k-7.5k) and looking over a couple canyons. The lake day wasn’t productive, but would be a good way to access a few canyons that are otherwise difficult to reach. Short day today (8k-9k ft), found where a bear had been in the rose hips, but it wasn’t fresh, oak brush not putting out in the area.
Not being a bow hunter, I’m grateful for a good excuse to be out in September. Hopefully will be free to check another spot tomorrow.
