The draw is a week away and Archery Season just around the corner so time to start scouting. My AO tag brought me to this spot last year but we are going to try to pull a party rifle tag out of it this year, Could not of asked for a better day for it, 70 degrees and sunny. I found a big drainage last year that the animals are using as a travel corridor. Today we put 4 cameras along the drainage in different spots, along exit routes, and choke points. The plan is going to let them simmer to see if we can get any targets. We also picked out a few archery blind spots and a rifle spot sitting on top of the whole thing. Had to do a little bushwhacking but we made a path to a back way we can get to those blind spots without disturbing the area below. Time to go fishing! Hope you guys are enjoying the long weekend.

Went and swapped SD cards today. Can see where the antler growth is, or was. I busted out one buck today and it looked like his antlers were just starting to split, the tips looked alot darker. We had a battle of witts staring at each other but when i went for my phone he bounced. Got about 10 different does and fawns on camera also. Cant wait for Aug 20th. Looking promising so far.
