Just returned from 4 days of hunting down on the hot, dry, dusty, full of elk, not many deer Book Cliffs. Hunted from the very tops, to massey junction, saw more bucks mid mountain than up high. Did see one nice shooter, just couldn't close the gap. Seems to me the deer herd is struggling on the Books, hoping the next few weeks bring cooler, wet weather!!! Rifle hunt may be the ticket! !??
