1easystyle Report post Posted January 26, 2010 I made it back out today and saw 3 bucks chasing....Finally.... azsd1 Do you mind sharing what elevation you were at? I thought I’d outsmart the coues over the weekend and work my way up from a lower elevation (3k), from the sign I found it looks like the nice weather (Sun and Mon) pushed them back up the mountain towards 6k, either that, or I walked by all of them. By the time I got to 4,600ft while calling every ~500ft in elevation with no response, I was wrecked and decided to pack out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natureboyfloyd Report post Posted January 27, 2010 For what it is worth.... Right at dusk on Saturday, I saw a three pointer right up a doe, at @ 3900 feet, Catalinas. However, the behavior mirrored a spike on Jan 8th, or so, (close enough I sorta passed on a shot as I am chock full of spikes). That day, @ Jan 8th, a more experienced archer said that the chasing isn't necessarily rutting, from the doe's viewpoint. Therefore, I merely relay what I saw Saturday, a buck pushing a doe right where I would've been if the snow wasn't so pretty a little farther up..... Sunday, again 3900 feet, a buck circles around some does in that area, and my stalk ended with a doe busting me at 30 yards, thanks to a lovely swirling mountain wind. Rut? I don't know; I have much to learn, as "me novice" in this regard. I am enjoying this recurve hunting immensely. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
