How many scouting trips did it take for you to find the deer? Or did you find your spots primarily through e scouting.
Boots on the ground and hunted everyday of the season is how I worked along with pre season scouting, glass only works early or late in the day when the heat is low and they are moving, It's primarily boots and cover ground down wind looking for sign and hope you bump one. If you have a couple hundred game cams that would help. No joke this is a tough hunt with low success, they are there but you will have to put in monumental efforts to succeed. I hunted it top to bottom for many years dawn to dusk because I had the time and nothing else to do. I don't recommend it to someone with out stamina and patience and needs to put meat on the table. Nuff Said ?
That seems like a theme among successful hunters that I’ve read about in all the SoCal deer zones.
That reminds me of when we checked out a ghost town in Death Valley. It was down a two track that winded real far into a canyon in the middle of nowhere, like that house. I’m guessing maybe there was more water in those deserts back then, what do you think?
