Was down in the neck of the woods this last week for family business.
I remember last April a GUY telling me that the WINTERKILL wasn't as bad as I was saying it was.during my drive from Blanding Ut to Cortez Co and back,HERE WHAT I POSTED******We only traveled on the main Hwy from Blanding Ut to Cortez and then back but we saw dead elk and deer in the ditches and in the fields. Over on the UT side the green fields that you could see deer in morning and evening didn't have much in them, it looks like the winterkill will be high down in that area"""""".
WEll I'm Here to Shout BULL$HIT That area really got Hammered, Guys telling me that they had been scouting 3 days getting ready for ML and only seen 8 bucks nothing over 24" a Normal day of scouting would be 15-25 bucks with a few shooters. Not seeing much up on top or down in the oakbrush, I'm kind of happy I didn't draw now.
How many Local guys think I'm wrong and they are seeing just as many deer and Elk. Because I didn't see crapola in eastland,it was pretty much a few does and fawns with 2 forkys bucks about 20 head of deer total. Didn't see any elk out that way at all .
BTO how was your hunting season down there, did you get alot of Big Bulls and Bucks so far. How would you rate the winterkill from last years snow. I know you guys live on the mountains and hunt like mad men so how is the season going so far.
