scouting 7/15 with pictures
one hunting fool

Ok after work (and feeding the Dogs) I decided I would go for a little hike and see if I could find some Deer in my hunting area. The following are what I got on film.
I am not a photographer by any means and these photos where taken about sunset and from a distance so they are very grainy. I dare say they suck! But I think you will get the idea.
First buck I scared him out of a draw. I had to get my camera on and take the picture as he was running

Cropped picture of the same buck he is a little 4 point

Then I came into this herd feeding on the flat on there way to water

The following are cropped and lightened so you can see each deer more clearly

I got these two in the same group I was a long way away and I am very shaky so forgive me for the poor quality

I tried to get closer so I could get better pictures so I dropped into a ravine and ran as fast and quite as I could when I popped out I spooked the herd I got a lot closer than I thought I was able to get one picture of the last small 4x3 as I came up (again lightened and enhanced so you could see him)

Then I climbed out and snapped this picture of the seven bucks. I have cropped them to get a better look

All in all I think I found some nice deer. By the way how big do you think the five 4 points are in the last three photos?
Oh and I saw a deer I pulled off of to get closer to the 8 bucks that where in a group together. OMG he was a nice cactus buck points all over. I got a look at him threw my bino’s and tried to rig a picture threw them (that’s hard by the way) but knew I could not get up to where he was before dark. Maybe next time.
And incase you are wondering this is semi private land (some No trespassing, some primitive weapons only upon permission) surrounding BLM and a private hunting club. In the years that I have been scouting and hunting this area I have not seen these deer before. I hope they are not just passing threw!
