Hello all, I have been hunting 36b the last few days and have not seen one buck. I have glassed up so many does without any bucks and wondering if I should be changing my strategy or not. I have seen javelina, mt lion, coati and about 40 does a day but not one buck. I have been getting high and glassing juniper grassland mornings and thicker canyons during the mid day evening. Usually I am of the belief, where there are does a buck is within the sq mile but no such luck it seems. Any help would be helpful.

Thanks to everyone who reached or offered insight. I hunted every day of the hunt except for the last (crane hunting) and was unsuccessful. Tag soup for me. I did see two bucks and let a tiny spike go for future hunting opportunities.

Ran into a boarder crosser this week. I’ve ran into a few over the years hunting border units. Just learn to deal with it and be prepared.

Back by big tank and oak tank area. East of Ruby road and spend most of my time there. FR4186

Hello all, I am curious how many of you carry a spotting scope with your 15s. I use 15 slc hds for finding and have occasionally used an old leupold gold ring to double check but its gone now and I am on the path to replace or remove completely. I had a few questions. How many of you carry a compact spotting with you to verify or double check that rock? If so, what brand? I have narrowed if I replace down to the new Swaro 56mm spotter, kowa 554 or maven s2. Thanks in advance.
