Here's what happened for me...any other 21 2nd season guys bummed?
Summary: 13 days scouting and 8 days hunting, never saw anything over 165. Came home empty handed.
I scouted 13 days in this unit. 2 weekends in Sept. and 1 in October. Then went 4 days early just to make sure I could find a big deer. Hunted the entire hunt except the last day and never saw a buck over 165. The country and unit looked great, had alot of folks recommend it to me. It also came highly recommended by my network of big buck gurus. I invested all the time and money I could find this year for this trip. In fact, I called it my Once in a Lifetime Mule Deer hunt. I was very dissapointed. Every deer hunter I spoke with out there said the same thing. If they are in 21 they must of been nocturnal or I just plain looked past them in the cover. We'll see what 3rd season produces...but I am not aware of any 2nd season 21 giants. If you know of them please post. It will help me feel better about the unit for the future. Good luck to you 3rd season hunters!
