Elkhunter1 Report post Posted December 16, 2012 Despite the rain and all the wind I had a great day chasing bone. At 7:30 I had two shooters less than 200 yards from me when two guys slammed on their brakes and pushed them down the canyon. Around 11:30 after circling down below where they were headed, and pushing several does I found my best find EVER. Placing it in my pack and sneaking into position to glass a Mesquite thicket I find myself being stared at by yet another doe. I reposition myself and set up to start glassing. Five minutes later I find the big shooter I saw earlier, bedded under a Juniper I looked at four times prior. The only problem, I can't find the smaller buck. Two hours later, cactus in my but, crawling, and scooting I find myself less than 100 yards from him still bedded. I move one foot at a time trying to close the distance when I find the smaller buck, the only problem he's also found me. He jumps up and runs past the big boy and they both get the heck out of Dodge. Now I am without a buck to shoot and at the bottom of the canyon, my truck is at the top. All and all I had a GREAT DAY. P.S. There is tomorrow and I know where the big boy is!!!! More to come. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
