 It's a big wild country out here. Gonna cover a lot of ground on foot, cover a lot of ground by glassing. Hopefully turn up a buck. Just kind of working into the wind today. Pretty overcast, looks like the storm's rolling in. Got high hopes that we can find something. Man, it always blows my mind how you can look over so much really good country and just see nothing. 90% of the deer and 10% of the good spot. So you gotta look over a lot of places that look perfect that have nothing in it. So you find that one spot for some reason they like. And then just keep honing in on all the places that are similar to that specific place where they're hanging out. And I'd like a little smaller. I think we can find a better deer but I hope I don't regret this decision later. Put that deer back there in five days to see what happens. Improved some weather, completely changed the scene. Went from no snow on the ground to white out conditions and some spots and good dusting on the ground. Hopefully this will get the deer moving though. Hunting these mountain bucks is a lot different than hunting other places. You gotta cover a lot of country, pretty low density but you go into these deep pockets with the hope of finding something that someone else hasn't seen. Or getting into a place that isn't really hunted. And a lot of miles in between, a lot of hard work, a lot of weather, but that's what makes it fun. Makes it an adventure. Once it clears up, it's gonna be moving. It's coming down to the wire. It's the last evening of the last day we've hunted hard. Just holding out hope that we can find a buck before the day ends. This deer can be few and far between but I come up here because I love this type of area. I love being in the mountains, chasing mountain bucks. It's not because there's a lot of deer but when you find one that's normally a big bodied deer like this one, just been a cool hunt. Didn't see a lot of animals, put in a lot of time. Now we've got some meat we're gonna take home. Gotta cut them up here and take them out in the backpack, pack them out.
