While I was sleeping...

Sundevil and I went out for a quick scouting trips this weekend primarily to learn the roads in a new area we are considering hunting this year. We drove roads most of the day to get a better understanding of what areas were accessible. Before we headed home we took a few hours to glass an area we thought might be productive.

 

Having not slept well the night before and after getting up earily for a morning glass I could barely keep my eyes open. After having glassed the same small cut three times with my eyes closed I thought I might as well try to catch a brief nap before the prime glassing time. After about 20 minutes of sleep Chris came and told me I wasn't going to find many deer that way and then almost immediately after sitting down said "There's a deer...it's a buck...it's a good buck. Sure enough there was a good deer in same cut I was glassing with my eyes closed. Here are some pictures -

 

 

Here's a little video of too -

Later I glassed up two yotes not far from where Chriss found the buck - he had his rifle with him so he took a whack at one of them. From the looks of it he connected but not well enough to drop him immediately.

 

All in all it was a very good trip - saw close to 50 deer, 6 bucks, 2 yotes and 2 rattlers. More importantly we found a number of areas we need to go back and look at.

Nice buck Larry! Good pics of him as well. Hopefully the new area will produce for you guys.

...it's a buck...it's a good buck.

 

Been watching a little Jackie Bushman, have ye?

 

Hopefully your scouting will reveal a nice buck for December

not only does he not glass up deer while he is sleeping but he also SNORES and scares most of the deer into the next canyon. \"/
