Good morning hunting!

I would turn it in. I did a couple years ago and it was a drug operation. I recieved a $500 reward.

That little blind/leantoo was put up this spring, no doubt about it. The winter would've taken it down in no time.

Be on the lookout for some funny looking plants in the area that you may have seen on some shirts, belt buckles, tattoos, etc. LOTS of these "plants" are in our national forests and parks as not too many folks wander off the beaten path and if they are found hard to prove who planted them.

Oh, hope you can connect on that buck. He looks like a shooter in my book!

Some DEA types say it is crazy to not have some heat when packing around up high this time of year. And yes, the CCP is the way to to it legally. That is an odd find!

Great find on the buck and very odd find on the shack. I am curious to hear how everything turns out with both of them. I would be willing to bet that your Buck either bedded and just hung tight or did double back on you like was said previously. Good luck this weekend!

Public lands can be a dangerous place to be with out a firearm with you for protection. More and more instances of drug labs(Meth) and more Pot growing operations are being found on National forest than ever before.

Here in Colorado they just just found 2 seprate growing operations on the Pike National Forest that accounted for 28,000 pot plants total. And back in early June I think it was , in Arizona some drug runners opened fire on 3 Arizona Game and Fish personal when they ran into them in the back country while the Game and Fish people where just out doing some animal counts.

Good luck on the upcoming hunting season but be careful.

I called it in. We'll see what happens. Hopefully it is just some idot building a shack, and not a pot farm.
