First scouting trip of the year for the hunt that starts in late October. Looked out west on the flats and in the canyons.. nothing. It was drier than a popcorn fart. Then moved to the transition area between the PJ flast and the high timber country. Again nothing..
Finally moved into the high timber, found some water, and found more muleys than you could beat with a stick.. Only saw one shooter buck, but that's all I need.
We were going to stay another day, but I think the rain gods are trying to make up in one day for the drought that has been going on for several years. As we were coming through Flagstaff, we noticed that there was snow on the San Francisco Peaks. Anyone who hasn't lived in Arizona will find it difficult to understand the implications of snow on the Peaks in September. It's unheard of.
Looking forward to a really good hunt.
