I agree cantkillathing- the truth about our scouting trip is this. Friday evening we drove clear over towards the roadless area and spent all of prime time seeing new country... Not my idea, but it was my dad's rodeo so I let it go.
Unfortunately, because of all that driving, we were also low on gas for the next morning's drive along the Divide Road. We only drove to the San Arroyo tower and then headed out to Fruita to get gas. That was at 8 a.m. so we barely looked for deer that morning.
Saturday evening, we drove north on Seep Ridge Road cuz we had never been there. Again, as far as deer, a total waste of time, but my dad wanted to see the country, see we went. We went so far north that he decided he wanted to just go ahead a drive home, so again, the rest of us conceded.
All in all, for literally 2 hours of driving and glassing, I thought we did okay. We know there are better deer there. 2 years ago, and last year we saw bucks in the 170"-180" range. I'll get some good footage of the hunt. Hopefully worthy of everyone's approval...
thanks for watching guys.
