Any of the ag area on the southwest side of 31 is good.

They are still going in 8

Buddy got a hit for turkey

That's an awesome hunting setup

I've seen it 2 times with Hornady .308. Rifle shot everything else fine but just had 1 box with a few bad rounds.

The bulls in unit 8 have been on fire the last 2 days.

He just got back from a long trip so he sat this one out.

My son drew his 2nd choice 12aw antlerless for his first deer hunt. Due to the weather we got a room in Kanab for the weekend. We had just enough time to drive through the unit Thursday before dark but didn't see any deer. We were joined by his cousin and my brother in law. Friday morning had mom spotting bucks all over the place up high. Between glassing and driving we saw 17 bucks and no does by lunch time. After lunch and some exploring we changed elevation and started seeing some does. We got busted on our first stalk but right before dark we spotted this doe moving through some oaks. Jase and I made a quick stalk and I stopped her with a bleat in a small opening. He made the most of it and shot her at 150yds off my tripod with his 300wsm. She jumped at the shot and ran out of sight. Everyone came down to help us track. Before we even found blood i glassed down the hill and saw an ear in the grass. I handed Jase the binos and told him to look where he last saw her. It took him a min but when he saw her he got the biggest smile I have ever seen. After pics we navigated the new etag app and got her gutted. While we were skinning her G&f stopped by and said he would tell the check station to wait for us. We got her checked in 15min late. It was nice of them to wait for us. Back home Saturday we got her cut up and Jase cooked us steaks for dinner. Great memories were made!

The weather held out for us up north. Jase got his first deer right before dark.

We will see. Heading up for my son's first deer hunt Thursday. Hopefully we don't get rained out.

This morning we had incredible action for about 30min. Hopefully it's the same tomorrow.

Tonight we saw a herd of 15 cows with 2 spikes. No bull around.

8 has been super quiet. We found a couple but they were silent. Hopefully they turn on soon.

If you spend any time in 8 you will see plenty. I wouldn't worry about it. I probably find 8-10 a year out hiking around. The Sheep herder was camped on the powerline just west of Whitehorse rd last week but he moves often.

How many hides and when would you pick them up?
