Got to love the snow.

Went out a couple of days ago to a new area and found a huge amount of sign including rubs, scrapes and a fight scene with blood. Really quite interesting actually but I didn't see much in the way of deer.

So I went back today and was there before first light hiking my way in. I got to a predetermined spot and did a bit of estrus doe calling with some tending grunts but nothing came in. As I hiked along the mountain I was afforded a view of the fields in the valley bottom, occasionally I would stop and glass the deer in the fields that were very active for 9 am. Finally I ended up back at my hot zone where the majority of rubs/scrapes were and as I crept along I spotted this beauty buck which I managed to harvest. All in all it was a great day.

Oh, and the snow made dragging the little bugger out so much nicer!

Nice whitey, wow, the bucks are sure starting to roll in now!!!

[Husq]

thanks gents.

I think Creston today was actually warmer than Vancouver, I think they even have more snow than us! Its supposed to cool down here in the next couple of days but I'm just happy that I've filled my quota for the year.

Snow sure gets them moving, really shows just how much movement there is going on. Right before the cold snap hit it was like someone turned a switch on for a couple of hours. Glassed a area and deer were popping out of everywhere and bucks were making their presence known. Was amazing to witness so much action in a small area. Could not take advantage due to losing daylight and wanted to stay out for a few more days, but took a small 3 point before dark close to the truck. Good thing as did not see a thing today. Weird
