Thanks for the compliments.
I hunted Unit 35,36,45 with my brother in law who had been in the unit in '07. He said there was 3x the pressure in '07 and he and his wife filled their tags with respectable bucks from the roads. In '08, they cut tags and hunting pressure was great. Few camps! But, there was also few deer. In '07, my bro in law saw lots of deer and many bucks in the days scouting prior to the opener. '08 was dismal. We worked really hard to fill two tags in '08. I see now how much snow is a huge factor. Without it, I may not have seen my buck. He had come out of the high country (probably checking does) and I glassed him up as he was working his way back up the sage ridges..........heading toward higher aspen thickets.
One of my most rewarding hunts to date. Thanks, Mark.
