There are dozens to the ER here in Flag on holiday weekends. They do not make the news anymore. Too fast, underage, alcohol, riding double, not paying attention, no helmets...

Congrats to your nephew. Bet he is still stoked (maybe you too 😉 )

My favorite right now is the Salomon Quest 4D. A lot depends how the last matches one's foot and heel. https://www.cabelas.com/product/bargain-cave/new-this-week/footwear/pc/105591780/c/105633180/sc/105636780/salomon-quest-d-mid-gtx/2665072.uts?slotId=1

I'd say you are off to a great start. Congrats.

Bump for the Friday crowd

Bump. TGIF

Apache Maid will be a zoo.

Congrats on the successful goat hunt. Pretty billie.

I would not carry both the 10x and 12x binoculars. Put both on a tripod and see which has the best resolution and contrast and 100 yards on a resolution chart. Carry the best pair only. (you did not say what level/brand your 10x43 binos are) The rental of good optics may be the best option for your one week hunt. Personally, I think a pair of high end 15x would be more useful and beneficial for Coues hunting than a spotting scope unless you are trophy hunting and counting inches. On my last December Coues hunt, a friend on the hunt had the compact Vortex Razor 11-33x spotter which I did not find much more discerning/valuable than my 15x binos. I found another friend's Swaro 20-60 much more valuable on that hunt.

What G&F says is good advice. Look for berries. You may find them at first light along the dirt roads getting water from puddles. The fires this summer may have affected the 610 road Areas: Concentrate your efforts on the southeast side of the Plateau in sub-unit 12AE. Areas around Crystal Springs, Sourdough Well, and along the 610 rd near the National Park Boundary provide the best opportunity for finding the often secretive Blue Grouse. Look for areas with mixed conifer, aspens, and berry bushes in close proximity. Grouse, like squirrels, appear to be most active early in the morning but walking throughout the day can result in flushed birds.

Nice scope. I just put this model LRHS on my 6.5 WSM. Bump.
