Re: Carpenter Lake in Early Sept.
Deer don't come down to Carpeneter until the weather gets nasty...Lots of deer up high early on. And many good trails that you can hike/ride horses along and spot from.
A couple of years ago I was up there and we got into an early season blizzard in th ehigh areas. A few does trailing fawns almost knocked us over!! Shot a nice buck the next day.
One week later, when we returned- Not a deer in sight, and little sign, as it appeared they migrated like hell.
Bottom line? Great earl seasin alpine hunting. Gorgeous country, and made for horses. I just wish I had some..........
Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!
