Okay, guys and gals, here is a quick update. We only had a couple days to hunt this past weekend, but we made the most of it. We got up to "camp" Friday eve, and sat adjacent to an old homestead alfafa field, hoping to take another whitetail doe, and possibly locate some elk.
Kory sat a stand about half-mile north of me, and had a good view of the critters that decended a ridge into the hayfield. Plenty of deer, as always, but just before dark, two raghorn bulls came down the ridge and sparred just above the hayfield.
I enjoyed plenty of company in the form of whitetail deer, but no shot opps....although I could clearly hear the bulls above my position sparring, I was'nt treated to a visual, like Kory was.
There was a lot of activity in general that evening with the approaching cold front.
The next morning we awoke to about 3 inches of white stuff, and it still coming down hard! It snowed most of the day. (thought I was kidding about the snow, eh?)
We both sat stands on the creek bottom in the snowstorm, but deer or anything else for that matter, were not moving at all.
That afternoon, things cleared up, as you can see, and we went back up to where we saw the elk the evening before. Kory wanted to try and intercept the elk, hoping they would meander down again. I sat the same stand I did the previous evening.
Here is my view from the stand.....aspens are glowing neon this time of year, and with the new snow, it was really beautiful and peaceful.
