Got back last night from elk hunting and decided to head out for a Friday and a Saturday morning hunt for deer.
Set the alarm this morning for 4 a.m. and didnt really feel like climbing out of bed, but with only a day and a half to hunt, figured I better.
I went to my first choice spot right at daylight and saw 17 deer including two bucks, one was a small 4 point. I also saw two really nice bull elk. Also found about the best elk shed I've ever found while glassing the sage. I just saw two tines sticking out of the sage and walked down to pick it up, assuming a raghorn. I was a little excited that it was better than a raghorn.
Got a message from Oak that he was in the "neighborhood" and had killed a nice buck. So, we chatted for a while and went to another spot I thought would be good. I was wrong about that, all I saw were a half dozen does, but I did glass some likely looking country out in the distance that didnt have any roads and was real broken.
So I headed out that direction and parked my truck to head into that country. I didnt make it far when I happened to glass up a buck feeding. I quickly judged him and with time running out for my Wyoming season...I decided to take him.
Anyway, heres my deer for 2009.
Another look:
One last one with the elk shed I found. Too bad he has such short main beams.
