 | taking a break on top of yet another hill
|
We now had one last day to fill my third tag, but I was fairly happy with how things were going. As day six dawned clear and sunny, both Jake and I were pretty excited to revisit the Bear Creek drainage to look for another rut-crazed buck. We climbed to a good vantage point, but the deer had decamped, leaving the valley silent and still, not even a doe in attendance. We tried a few other hillsides and saw a handful of youngsters, but no mature bucks. I couldn`t believe that my last day, sunny and full of promise, would end without sighting a nice buck...I`d been spoiled!
