Here are some photos from my third bowhunt of 2014:
My hunt area, mid-September, watching fall roll in.Wild currant berries grow everywhere in this unit. If the fruit wasn’t so hairy I would eat some.September 10, 2014, 7:17 a.m.Above 10,000 and almost straight down. This is some of the steepest country I’ve hunted.Looks like a cougar got to this deer before I could.The scattered buck skeleton I found was picked clean by predators. The antlers measured 26+”.More high country.I could have shot a small buck every single day, but I’m holding out for a big one that’s lived past his prime. My lonely bow got no action on this hunt, just lots of scratches.Lichen on the rocks. Might as well enjoy the small stuff.Parting shot: I was walking through a meadow at dark without my flashlight when I noticed a dark form in front of me. Suddenly half split off and ran down the mountain. Stupefied, I dug out my flashlight and found 1 of 2 porcupines nervously turned away from me and showing me its bristly backside. Neat little animals!
