My amigo and I did a high country rifle hunt this year in CO and saw nothing and got blown off the mountain by a blizzard on day 5....
but on the scouting trip in August we saw some slammers. Disappointing to say the least, the state moved the start date of the hunt back past labor day to minimize hunter/hiker conflicts and I think that week made all the difference this year from the bucks being in their summer pattern and moving on out. Hell maybe they were there the whole time and we just missed them.
This deer has a very unique configuration - flyer off every fork.
This is a bachelor group scoped for more than a mile away, very very wide guy, 2 maybe 3 shooters in here.
Glad for the experience. May try it again one day with a bow if I get mad enough at em. It will be a while before I see a deer as big as the first one. Steep steep country though and everything 11k and up.
