Only 85 here. Didn't see anything tonight but a squirrel.

 

2 squirrels here. I'm taking tomorrow off then hitting it hard Sunday when it's 30 degrees cooler!

Have to check my weather app for tomorrow. I figured out how to make my scope and tripod fit in my bag, which was on of my concern going into the season.

Here's the map from my trip out this morning. I took a couple of other pictures that I'll post here in a bit from my phone.

 

Here are a few things I learned yesterday after scouting:

1. The deer are there. A lot of the deer dropping on trails I walked was 12 - 24 hours old.
2. The weather is pushing them lower and earlier than I expected.
3. If I want to see deer, I need to be on the mountain earlier than 9 am. Or, take time to look en route.
4. Fully charge the phone/GPS tracker prior to leaving. I thought about dropping down and going to the next draw, until I looked at my charge (20%). Good thing I went back, my phone died about 20 minutes away from the truck.

Best guess is it took me about 45 minutes to an hour to get back to main ATV trail on the outside of the ranch. So, we'll need to be up and at the gate roughly 45 minutes prior to first light.

 

When will you be going out hunting?

 

Starting November 14th at the latest and finishing the 20th of November.

So will the deer be pretty low by that time?

 

Yeah. They typically are. Some of the guys at work think they'll be low for late rifle (last couple of weeks in October).

Have you ever tried putting up a trail cam or 2? I don't know a whole lot about mulies in the mountains.

 

We've got a couple that will go out mid October. The plan is just on the public land side of the fence. We'll check roughly the first week in November. There are plenty of good spots within 5-10 miles of where we'll camp.

Sweet!

 

This guy was taken one or two draws away from our camp.

That antler sticking out of his face is cool! Great buck too

 

He was nicknamed the unicorn buck.
