Get ready for slop

[DoeNob]

LAST EDITED ON Dec-29-11 AT 09:03PM (MST)[p]I am here in 36 scouting, drove thru 31,32 and 33 on 380 to get here. I am pretty sure all units in the 30's got a decent amount of snow. They temps have been up and the melt is on. It is super sloppy out there, I nearly got stuck on a forest service road today. I knew I was headed for trouble when I passed 2 rancher trucks going the other way and they were both chained up!

4wd is more than mandatory on most forest service roads right now. If you have chains I'd recommend bringing them.

Also - found some nice backyard bulls in town today, I took these pictures around 8:30, they were still there at 5, must be this guys pets!

This winter should be like that all winter get snow watch snow melt get snow watch snow melt. Hope you get another round of storms soon.

"Seeing any deer? "

Only meat bucks (dinks) so far but I really have only been a handful of places. Alot of the water "on top" froze solid, ponds, drinkers etc, so I think that probably pushed them to some lower elevations. With things warming back up not sure if they move higher or just stay low?

Not really seeing any rutting activity either. The smaller bucks I've seen with the does are kind of just hanging out, nobody getting too excited.

Any chance you were in 30? Wondering what road conditions are like there?

Good luck on your hunt Andy!

Did not go through 30, but if they got the same amount of snow as the area east of Roswell, its going to be wet.

Love to have wildlife like that at my doorstep. That lead bull is simply enormous.

Thanks for the reply DoeNob.

With the wind today and the temps, things are drying out here. Some areas still sketchy, but not as bad as a couple days ago. Good luck and happy new year everyone!
