hey fella's,
first let me say im not looking for anyone secret spot nor am i asking for someone to directly take me to the deer, i can handle that. im just asking for a little info on the area because its not just down the road for me to go look at. i've been hunting for years and know that with work, dedication and patience it will pay off.
now with that said i started this little venture last year when i drew this tag (rifle deer). planning had started, maps were being looked at and even made contact with some great folks here on MM that helped out. but about a month before my hunt started i was sent over seas with the military, it was a short notice, no nothing i could do about it. it was a hard day when i had to hand that tag back to the lady at the service counter at the division. ten years it took me to get this tag and in one short phone call i had to give it back. the plus side was that i did get my points back and low and behold i have it again this year.
so here's my question i guess guys, i've have some areas picked i would like to start looking in to. kinda high and low, middle of the road i guess you could say. i've seen some posts talking about where the deer are now compared to where they will be come the rifle hunt. i know they will be on the move by then but im i watch the MM forums off and on soaking in some of the great info others have and im very willing to share what i have as well. im looking around McCook ridge, rat hole, big park ect.
any info would be greatly appreciated!! going to get my first scouting trip in this weekend, finally.
thank guys
