[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 5713642, member: 10019"] Just been busy living it up out here. Spent yesterday taking care of the meat, got the skull in water hoping maceration starts taking place before I fly out so I can get those sheaths off and in borax. Little back story. Got here last week and went into the unit. Immediately I could tell numbers were way down. Which we all knew but to see it first hand gives you a different take. Also, what bucks I found just didn’t look super impressive. Especially having the genetics to produce world class bucks. One thing for certain, the views from this desert area are superb. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_3349.jpeg"]194923[/ATTACH] I knew this year wasn’t “the year” but I needed to burn these points. Why? Because we (family) were planning to make a move to WY sometime in the near future. Having a dozen points as a resident does you no good, it’s all random draw for them. At the time of application season my September was wide open…so after a lengthy talk with the biologist I was in. Figured I’d spend a solid week picking out “the buck”. Things changed a bit and my September became full, really full. After a couple days of scouting I quickly realized I found 90% of the critters. Couple of them were pretty good but nothing stood out. Honestly I’ve killed bigger ones on 2nd choice units with limited public land. Not because I’m a good antelope hunter, but because I was persistent and shot the first one I could find on public…ie lucky. But this unit was anything like I’ve hunted before. A metric crap ton of accessible public land. Here is a view of a glassing point I found. Probably 5 miles to those buttes in the top left corner and only one two track between me and them. Unbelievable, plus it had elk and antelope in it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_3355.jpeg"]194925[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
