July 4th Weekend Trip (pics)
July 4th Weekend Trip (pics)
Took the family up to southern Utah over the long 4th of July weekend to get out of the heat and enjoy the outdoors. Hooked up with a buddy I haven't seen for a few years, Jeremy Houston, and spent a morning looking at deer on some property he has access to on the Paunsy. It was well worth it!
Here's a few photos I took that weekend. Nothing good, as I never got close enough........and was too busy drooling through my binos.
Here's a NICE public land 4x4 buck in a general zone area. This photo was taken July 2nd.......by the time he's finished up, he will be a great buck, IMO:
Another public land buck:
"Mr. Wide" is back for Jeremy to photograph:
Real heavy 4x4 that will be a STUD when fully grown:
A couple smaller ones on the open unit:
A high mountain antelope posing for the camera:

Re: July 4th Weekend Trip (pics)
Good looking critters. Nice country you got yourselves into.
Re: July 4th Weekend Trip (pics)
No.......just scouting it in case I have to hunt it next year (depending on draw results). I like to keep up with areas I used to hunt frequently to ensure they still have good bucks (Utah and Kaibab for example) in case I end up back there some year. Always have to have a back-up plan this day and age.do you get to hunt any of these this year?
