Deer Hunt 09




Well we gave it a valiant effort.  But no such luck.  We set off opening morning and went up to Little Baldy and looked around for the morning.  Then we went to Sheep Creek and look all over there, continued on into Strawberry valley.  While there went to the lake and tried our luck at fishing in Indian Springs same luck there.  We  headed off in search of Deer again got up on top of Main Canyon headed back toward sheep creek then went down into Diamond Fork and went through Hobble Creek rt fork, and ended up going over Squaw Peak connection.  We ran into Danny Adams and his group it was good to see him and the Drury's they had got a small 2x3 opening day and were looking for the monster bucks in the blue cliffs on Provo Peak.  They target shot to check range of a couple of there rifles, 1035 yards dead on it was crazy distance to see them hit the target at that distance.  Danny sent me a pic of his 4x4 he got later in the week 651 yards one shot he is a great shot, but puts in the time to be good.  We packed it in for the weekend and went out a couple times during the week.  Closing weekend we tried a couple of stand by areas but didn't see even does in those areas.  Only seen 3 buck taken all season, I'm sure there were more but still not great productivity.  Had fun with Parker his last hunt for a couple years, he will be Birmingham, England for a couple years, so good memories.  During the week Parker's girlfriend lost her brother, he gave a valiant battle against Cancer, losing it courageously.
