Finally get a scouting trip in

I finally get a chance to go do some scouting this weekend. I have been looking at some of the scouting pics and am jealous! =D> I will be high in the Boise National Forest trying to find some bucks and elk. My son and I drew cow tags but not buck tags. I will post some pics if I get any. It will be nice to just get out of town and in my element for a couple of days.

By the way has the price of gas curtailed any other scouting trips besides mine? (???)

Who is this murphy fellow? I think I want to ...... oh never mind.

I finally get a chance to do some scouting this weekend, and the very ridge that I planned on camping at is on fire!

OH Well, time for plan B.

GPWdeer- Have fun with that Unit 40 tag, you will find some hogs down there. I put in for deer in unit 41 but no luck this year. I Did draw for antelope in 41 though....

I've been working most weekends so I haven't been able to get out yet. I still don't have any great ideas for where to scout for general season deer. Gas prices are high, but anywhere within a couple hours of Boise that I have found is always a madhouse during general season..

Well, I went out Saturday morning and we saw quite a few groups of does and fawns (which look to be in great shape and very healthy. We saw one little 3 point that looked like he'd be a 4 point by the end of summer. He was maybe 22-23 wide so definitely not a candidate, but good to see him around. I saw tons of birds and one red coyote. I emptied my clip on my .45 at him on the run at about 65-70 yards with no luck. I will be back out in about 3 weeks.
