LAST EDITED ON Nov-09-15 AT 02:05PM (MST)[p]I was just curious as to how the other hunters who had this hunt did. It was hot and windy over the start of the hunt (so I was both sun and wind burned!!!), but it did cool off over the last 3 days - I am hoping this started the rut for those of you that were patient enough to wait that long. The common wisdom that I kept hearing was to wait for the last 2 days of the hunt, and the 30-inchers would just appear...but I could not pass up this 5x5 (or 5x6 depending on who is counting...) I spotted on our 5th day of hunting. So I spotted him, snuck on him, spooked and lost him, spent 4 hours looking for him, found him, chased him over 4 ridges, then success!
It was just me and my father-in-law on a DIY hunt, so we didn't necessarily have the resources of many of the other hunters, but we had a great time! The only thing I would have changed if I could was the weather - high 60's in November is ridiculous!
