azshtr Report post Posted September 3, 2008 I had an evening free and revisited an old area I used to hunt. I stopped hunting this area as I started seeing too many peeps in it. After 5 years I went back and found the road almost overgrown in places, extreemly washed out and very difficult to Jeep (lifted and locked very capable Jeep) into, no tire tracks... even quads.... it was AWESOME. The desert looked great and the water tanks full. A nice hike of a couple more miles and saw lots of deer. I sat water from about 4pm till sundown. About 5pm in comes and nice 3 point WT. Very cautious. He hit hit the far side of the tank and was 58 yards. Then he started around the tank towards me, 40 yards, 30 yards, no shot yet as he was angling to me but he was following a track that would have turned him away at 20 yards... then he stopped, stared right at me and spooked. I was well hidden, wind in my favor, etc. I think it was esp, or he heard my heart! I loved it! Epic trip out hunting. Back to my old area, I know where a nice buck is, saw lots of deer, no tire tracks... couldn't ask for more. EDIT: And I saw a gila monster! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
