EAS Report post Posted November 29, 2013 Well, it seems things got off a little slow and bucks started moving around after the snow. Not sure of the full impact of the fence just yet... some nice deer starting to drop. I saw some good teams of buddies workin together to find the big bucks. I had fun watching the rut kick off and the buck run the doe around... I ended up taking a 550 yard shot and dropped this little buck with a heart shot in his tracks. I originally set out solo to find a legendary 200" monster, but couldn't stop myself from taking this buck... buck fever I guess. Good buck, but this tag is good for some monsters if one can be more patient, and take some buddies along for a team hunt. Cool tall buck tho, I like him! We'll see how the season wraps up... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flash Report post Posted December 1, 2013 Nice job EAS. It was tough, especially early on. I was also solo so feel for ya. Sounds like a great shot and a good buck to be happy with! I believe the fence had a huge impact. Myself as well as a few other hunters I talked to over the hunt saw minimal deer numbers on the north 1/3 of the unit. You could literally see a hundred deer in a couple mile stretch on that fence. There were also the same groups of deer in the same spot over the week hunt. I talked to a guide who had trail cameras at the crossings and said he only had a couple deer come through. More crossings and bigger openings on them would benefit the deer I think. Those poor things looked like puppy dogs with their noses in the chain link fence just looking to the other side. Guess the Utah folks like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
