This past weekend I drug the family out to the Books to check out the deer herd and to scout the area to see what it looks like. I have a rifle tag for out there and needed to go see what I was in for.
I am not sure what I expected but I had thought I would see more pine and aspens and not near the amount of oak brush, cedars and sage. Very neat area but not like what I pictured in my mind. We spent most days looking around the areas that hold deer during the rifle hunt but spent the evenings up on top looking at the deer. We saw some decent bucks, some good buck and a couple that made me shake a little. Doubt I'll see any of these bucks come time for the rifle hunt but they were fun to look at.
Any of you make it out there this past weekend? I talked to a couple guys who have the archery tag and some others who have the rifle tag like me.
Here are a few pics (very crappy I might add) of what we saw. I am no photographer so be kind!!
It was getting late but this buck was a toad in my mind. I don't know much about scoring nor do I care but this one would score high enough for me!!
Here's another one that looked awesome to me but by the time we got the camera on him he was done posing for us. These pics don't do him justice at all!!
Here are a few of the other bucks we saw. Nothing huge but fun to look at.
I'd be interested to know what you think this one scores as is and what you think he would score if he had 4 on each side. Beautiful buck though!!
It was a long drive but very fun. We plan to head out again toward the first part of September and hopefully will fit in another trip in October prior to my hunt.
Sorry the pics aren't that great but this post would be worthless without them!!
