Didn't get a shot on the buck since we were walking back to the truck from glassing the morning and walked into him. We had mexican standoff with him at 30 yards and him standing behind a tree. He picked the one line that gave him cover so we never were able to get a shot off. Other than that alot of glassing does and other hunters. Just seemed like the deer were content with bedding down until actual sundown. We hunted from Kentucky camp south and got as far down as hog canyon. We were limited a little bit as well since my hunting partner came down with a cold and I hated trying to push him to go to far back off the road. We are on the other side of Mtns and a little south of there. Good news/bad news. Bad news is one hunter in camp backed out and he was the one that had the pop-up camper, so unexpectedly sleeping in tent for the week. Good news is that means my Step-dad can now haul down a trailer with his SxS on it so we ( I ) can run up top into the steeper and more secluded areas that are less pressured. Road up is too narrow to take a fullsize truck, we did it ONCE 3 years ago and swore never again in a FS vehicle. I am not in the shape I need to be really, but one foot in front of the other I am gonna get to a good glassing spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great pics . I agree with you.. there are spots with more deer.. in your opinion is the units getting better or worse .. I know there are more roads in both now then there was a few years ago . I also know more people go to them tto ride,shoot etc.. and in the near future there will be even more because they sold 200 acres on I 10 and 83 and they are building houses .. so I'm not sure how bad it will get but we will see..

Just really fired up to get down there and was having a hard time focusing on work to begin with, then saw your pictures. 😍 We have a pretty much set area that my family always hunts, not a ton of deer but one person in the group pulls something out every year it seems. 1 hour ago, Jacob...soaz said: Good luck on your hunt where are you flying in from I am flying in from WA.

The need to go further in has increased over the last 10 years with the increase in rifle tags. From I10 and Hwy. 83 they could go in three directions and hit three units, 34A, 34B and 33.Good deer in all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
