Todays scouting trip

Postby Lefty » 08 24, 2012 •  [Post 1]

Was more of a hike.
Unfortunately I messed up on some pics
I thought I got a gouple pics of my fisrt live rattle snake,.. in the woods
Also thought I had a couple of some good country , some funny Idaho state Fish and Game private property signage and the resivior I hiked to ,.. basicly a big hole in the ground that I dont think has ever held water
Found a bunch af sheep herder graffitii from the 70's also

I thought this was really cool
I paced off 33 steps,.. and a downed tree. That makes some of these quakies over 100 foot tall

Awesome trip!

Last night I scouted for today's hunt... and Dang if I didn't have two bulls within 50yds. No sighting yet today, but sitting on a water hole that has been getting pummeled over the past week. Hopefully something gets thirsty this morning.
