    Harrison East/Frustrated

    Well i woke up this am with nothing to do so i woke my 4 year old grabbed my gear and headed for Harrison.I didnt hav much time , had to be back early for my oldest boys 18th birthday.I havent been there in a few years and man was i surprised to see that my favorite meadow was logged off.I always liked to sit at this clearing, and usually saw does there .I dont know when it was logged off or if its a good or bad thing.The area is alot more open which i like, but vehicles can get up there.I always hiked up and today had a damn truck drive in there and start cutting wood.In case your wondering it was another frustrating trip into the harrison area , reminded me of why i quit going there a couple years ago didnt see a damn thing.

    Lloyd, hunting Harrison has never been easy. They are there, but they're Blacktails, not Mulies!! Don't give up on the area, I'll be going in there at least one time before the season is done, I don't hold my breath, but I'll still have a good day of it!
    Take a kid hunting its more rewarding than shooting an animal yourself!!

    Hey David, let me know when you're heading up and I'll meet up with you (if it's on a weekend).

    Lloyd is this the same east side spot we talked about a while back, with the gate??? if they went back in there that's a damn shame!!!

    I"m heading out to the west side Nov 22 for an overnight trip. SPeaking of doe bleats ... what can you guys suggest that's easy to use for a newbie, i've never tried but wouldn't mind giving it a shot

    get the can bleat , you just turn it upside down and i works. I bleat when walking. Do it about every ten minutes. I have the primos long can, I use it the most, I also have a HS strut long can , and a quakerboy small can.
