Jazz Report post Posted August 16, 2022 Had a chance to hit the area yesterday. Brought the Ranger. The water is unbelievable. Put on about 5 miles. Should have brought my water wings. I imagine every water hole is filled. The 6 I hit were practically overflowing. Sign everywhere. Didn't see elk till 5:30. I'm hoping it dries out a little before this kicks off, all I see are umbrellas in the forecast app for the next week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's as close to scent free as I have found. I have used snow chains in 5BS because of mud. Even with 4x4 I got stuck right in the middle of the 93 road. It can be bad I turned in an archery antelope tag yesterday. I could barely get through to my hunting area last Wednesday. It has poured since then with a surge of tropical moisture in Thursday. It's supposed to really start raining. If I could have hunted the last half of the season I would have held on but I can't. I will likely die before I get another one 4 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted August 16, 2022 Man.... giving up a tag that you'll likely never draw again? That's a worse decision than picking a bad woman. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
