Leonard,
I mostly glass, locate'em and then set up in the area the next day. However I killed a buck in 2005 while stalking thru the snowline edge inside dark timber. I had been sitting in a basin above the timber where I could see the snowline as it meandered thru the timber. I had seen deer going into the timber as light broke, but it was too early to tell what they were. The thing I noticed was they never came out of the timber, because from my vantage point I could see all of its perimeter and lower back side. At about 2 p.m. I got up dropped down and started stalking thru that timber along the snowline to see if I could put a sneak on a bedded deer. As I was going thru a buck heard me and rose up out of his bed, but looked as if he was still shaking off the sleep. That gave me enough time to drop him. At the sound of that shot...the woods exploded with deer that were bedded with him and on down the trail from him...but all of them were right along that snowline. Do a search here on the site by typing in Gunnison as a keyword search. It will show you a few past topics posted. Find the one titled "Who Applied For Gunnison." Find my post within that topic dated 4/9/07. Attached are pic's from that hunt I just described. My two buddies that hunted with me also got their bucks along the snowline edge. I shot mine at 10,600 elev., the one in the middle was shot at 9,800 elev. and the one on the far right was shot at 10,400 elev. all from (3) different areas but within 5 miles of each other. -CB-
