caught only two bass the other day....me poor fisherman! glassed another nice buck tonight..bout 1000 yards out..big bodied and hvy tall narrow rack..had good tine lenthg already...Jess actually spotted it with the spotting scope.. the boys and I found one more shed yesterday.. on a hike searchingfor firewood...really chewed but decent 5 point.. I play a game with them, They get points for identifying animal scat/tracks, species..moose, deer, bear, turkey, elk...1 pt a piece...then buck and bull clumps..etc.. they get points for finding rubs (10)and scrapes/licking branches(10)and (50)for a shed.. the little buggars really get into it..


Today I hiked for 5 hours into three big draws and up on the mountain ridge tops.. trying to narrow down some more treestand or ground blind set-ups up on steep bedding benches that lead down to feed.... found all three springs that lead out of the draws...these are very good looking early Seasons set up spots for water whenit gets all dried out here..come late AUG....I covered a ton of federal ground today....there's a lot of it out here to decipher..no sheds today.. getting in shape for Sept elk..

oh been shooting a lot too.. had my best group at 50 yards in a long time.. today.. 3 arrows.. less than a 2 inch circle, probably just lucky LOL..... the 20, 30, and 40yardages pretty muchall stacked in tight...
