I have been texting with Greg a bit and he finally called yesterday to give me an update.........
Said the pressure in the Montrose CO. area from other hunters is incredible.
He got in an altercation with one guy because he scouted and found a nice wallow that another guy supposedly hunted the last 4 yrs. Greg had a treestand hung over it and the guy followed him allthe way from the gate to the wallow even after Greg TOLD him he was hunting there.[:@]
The guy just hounded him until Greg finally said just take the stupid spot.
(Of course the jerk shot a nice 4X4 bull that night [:'(])
I guess it's tough to get away from people because of all the hidden backroads that people come in from. He'll hike miles and think he's away from everyone and someone will come in from a road 1/2 mile the OPPOSITE direction.
All the early sign dried up and he's trying to relocate the scattered herd.
Had a spike at 3.5yrds and a couple other spikes in range but no legal bulls and not even a single cow yet.
Sounds like tough hunting but he's at it until tomorrow afternoon.
