Good Luck

Ahhhhh come on Demp you done spoiled the surprise......bluff cuts, hog back ridges, saddles ,points, narrows and various timber edges. We won't even get into wind, swirls and thermals. Them young whipper snappers gota figure out some things for themselves. laugh


smile I figured I'd give them something to think about , hunting those cuts and hunting the thickest nastiest stuff I can find usually gets my eyes on at least one good buck a year. I rarely hunt benches up and down the mountain I just haven't had as much luck. Go find a topo map and get to studying!

Don't get me started on the swirling wind, it just makes me more mad every time I go! I plan a hunt for a specific area all week and the stupid wind plays helicopter on me when I get there!

Good suggestion, about the topo map,it is an important, must have tool when learning a new piece of mountain land. It can tell you where the no brainer, can't miss stand sites are. If we keep this up it's gonna take all the fun out. wink
