Just wondering how everyone's scouting in southern utah has been? It seems like the quality deer aren't as plentiful this year as the past 2 years. At least I cant find as many good bucks. Everything seems to be in the 24" range. Just wondering what everyone elses input is.. Seems like a lot of the big boys got slaughtered on the rifle hunt last year.

Have seen a couple a bit wider than 24" on General Unit and 1 about that. Couple BIG BOYS on LE Unit. But haven't had time to get out like I wanted to .

Bow Hunt starts soon though, well see if I get lucky.

Here is a picture of the 2 wider ones...

I am having a hard time finding what I consider a shooter buck. I have seen a couple but in the area I wanted to hunt there was at least 8 deer killed last year, which needless to say leaves me with pretty slim pickins. I also havent got to a few of the areas that I believe hold some good ones. I should learn how to put my pics on that way I can share in the fun if I get one.
