Anointed Archer, Robslifts, their better halfs and I went up on a scouting trip for the upcoming deer hunt in Atlanta,MI. By the looks of things it's brewing up to be a great occasion!
I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to share camp with. All of Gods creation was perfect as always. Clear skies and comforatable temps made it a relaxing occasion. We ate great feasts, along with some wicked hot habanero peppers that came from my mother in laws garden and awesome Red Stag doe. I'm still stuffed!
During the day we spent driving along orv trails in search of well worn deer trails, elk sign, panoramic landscapes and views of other creaures that inhabit the area as well. We seen the biggest coyote I had ever laid eyes on, courting grouse, huge elk and deer tracks. We spotted quite a few groups of deer browsing with one group that consisted of a couple nice bucks and were even blessed enough to hear an elk bugle. We walked through the thickest vegetaion (ask Jeff about my directional skills,LOL!), climbed near vertical slopes and crossed some impressive bedding areas. Bear,deer and elk scat were all around us and reminded me that we were not alone.
The nights were nice and cool with shooting stars dashing across the sky and howling coyotes well into the wee hours of the morning. I kept the night critters away from camp with vicious snoring that unfourtunatly kept fellow camp mates awake too. :( (bring ear plugs)
Anyone coming on this trip in October should not be disappointed! With eveything that was around us, at all moments of the trip, will overload ones senses and bring peace to the everyday bustle of life.
