LAST EDITED ON Jul-11-08 AT 08:29PM (MST)[p]So far this year the scouting looks dismal at best for the opening of the archery season. I have been out a couple of times and have covered about 13-14 miles. In those miles I haven't seen a buck I want to put my tag on. Usually by now I have located a 30? buck or a buck that will score 180? or better. I think the winter was harder on the deer than expected. I have also noticed does hanging with bucks this year. To me this means they didn't have fawns so I can only assume they were aborted.
Anyway's here are the only pictures off my trail camera this week. It was out for 7 days and I only got a few pictures of bucks. I am new to this and this is only my second time out with a trail camera.
Setting up the camera with a photo check.
First picture of a buck
Second buck
Here is a picture of the first buck I captured on the trail camera. I took this photo through a spotting scope this morning
Well I thought it was the same buck but after further review the buck on the trail camera has a cheater on the left G2.
Looks like I need to pick a different area or maybe go for an elk instead they seem to have made it through the winter in better condition.
On the plus side I tried out my new Slingshot back pack from Eberlestock. This is a pack I won a few weeks ago in an archery shoot. This back pack carries the weight very well and I hardly even noticed it. I will be using it more in the future. This back pack can also carry my bow. With one clip the bow can be taken off your pack and shot in a matter of a few seconds. I would say they are worth the $130 bucks if you are interested.
Archery is a year round commitment!!
