Hey there, everyone! Time for an update on the scouting trip! Sadly, I didn't spot anything this time, but my dad managed to catch a glimpse of a decent 5x5 bull. It was quite the sight, but as luck would have it, it darted off when we rounded the corner with the truck. Those elk sure don't like noise!Speaking of which, my dad also spotted a cow, and though I saw something moving too, I couldn't quite make out what it was. But you know what really surprised me? The lack of deer! I mean, seriously, I was expecting to see at least 20, but nope, just three does. Can you guys believe that? I’m curious what you guys think about the deer population there am I missing something?
Anyway, the habitat looked perfect to me, so maybe I'm just not the best at spotting them. But it's all good, because the whole experience was a crazy adventure! I realized I totally underestimated these animals and that I need to put in more work to find them. But that's what hunting is all about, right? The battle with yourself to improve and become the best hunter we can be.
I'm so grateful that my dad took me along on this amazing experience. I can't wait to get back out there this hunting season and give it my all! Thanks a bunch for all your help, everyone. I really appreciate it. And hey, if you ever need an extra pair of eyes or some help packing out meat, count me in! I'd be more than happy to return the favor. Thanks again, and happy hunting to you all!
