Me and a buddy are heading out there in November. We are trying to figure out if staying in the back country will be doable in the drought. We have concerns about finding water....???
We have the 2nd gun hunt.
Studying the maps I have been concerned about the 2 issues you brought up. Mainly water as there looks to be none. Lol
We are both flatlanders but are in pretty decent shape.
Like I said I have never big game hunted out west but have chased turkeys all day at 7000+ feet...
i just bought a vortex high country tripod and i was not expecting the size and weight... is this too big for a backpack mule deer hunt?
all the weight seems to be in the head
im from the south so i have spent very little time behind spotting scopes
thank you for the reply. I have tried writing this twice on my phone and it throws more hoops at me to jump through.
I spent 1000's of hours the last 20 years on forums. I really just dont have the computer time anymore.
just trying to figure out what a " good buck" or shooter is in this area.
A buddy and I got drawn for a rifle hunt in this unit. We are planning on getting away from the roads and staying a few nights in the backcountry. Im heading out there at the end of August to put my eyes on the area.
We are new to western big game hunting but have both turkey hunted numerous...
