Welp it poured on me all yesterday evening. Kept raining throughout the night. I was hoping that would make this morning good but no deer.
As far as the hunting higher thing goes there's multiple reasons I'm hunting where I am. First of all I've seen lots of deer in the area, and it's just below the timberline. Most of my hunts have been well above 11k. Secondly, I am determined (stubbornly so) to kill a deer in this immediate area. There is basically one mountain/ridge above the tree line and I have glassed it for hours on both sides and have talked to a few people hunting up there. I am pretty sure the deer aren't bedding above that tree line. Third, I'm sure I could go well south of here where there are plenty of high meadows and glass up deer, but sentimental reasons along with deer sightings are keeping me here.
2.5 days left. Gotta get it done!
