Stroke of luck……..

Wet weeds tell no tales. Some claim we stink less during a gully washer……..

Rain makes corn…….. corn makes whiskey……..

Just a couple dinks this morning. Five decent bucks in one group feeding between rain storms this evening. But no shooter.

26 archery tags & 4,687 "spotters"....

And in addition to “spotters,” all the guys randomly driving around not connected to any hunter just hoping to find a giant so they can sell the info to a willing buyer.

God bless America!

Thanks for the updates. I love these threads. Makes my long days in the shop this time of year go by a little faster.

Thanks for bringing us along. Looks like a great hunt, good luck!

I can hunt the entire 4 weeks if necessary. So I'm pacing myself and will be patient. I can extend my hunt by working doing computer data entry mid-days in Bryce or Panguitch.

these type of threads are the best. Thanks for taking the time to post updates, best of luck to you.

That’s the way to do it. With Starlink what do you need from town, Ac power?

Yes, electric, a table & comfort. My tent doesn’t cut it.

Too foggy to see anything this morning. This evening saw ten bucks but no shooters. This one fed within 30 yards of my truck.

Camper_A1 · Monday at 8:19 AM

Good luck on your hunt. My release would’ve been getting a little itchy on that one.

You guys never been to the paunsagunt have you lol

Mallardsx2 · Monday at 10:49 AM

^^^^Sounds to me like it would be a poacher's Narnia.

A buck like that wouldn't live for 15 minutes where I hunt.

I’ve already been close to four shooters in one week. Two were 30” wide. I can hunt the full four weeks. No way I was gonna shoot that one in the photo. I got close this morning. Was hiking where I saw the two big ones and crested a hill there was a stud looking at me from 35 yards. Dammit.

CC11 · Monday at 1:35 PM

Get one Zim!

elkassassin · Monday at 2:18 PM

You're good At 35 Right Zim?

Good Luck!

As the hunt goes along, the big ones get smarter and smarter and soon they will be in no-man's country. Don't be to picky and wait to long.

Before my health decline, I was a very good elk hunter. Mule deer, not so much.

I really suck at this spot & stalking mule deer hunting. Bumped another stud at 40 yards yesterday morning. Four in the same 50 acres over five days. Moved to a more stalkable terrain and glassed another shooter across the canyon, but it was hot out and he came out way too late to try a stalk. Back here this morning same spot. A good start, no minions here!

Keep after it Zim! Need lots of opportunities to get it done with a bow-hope it comes together for you!
