    Summer Scouting?

    This year will not be bad but after the big avy cycle in 2018 some of the roads were not cleared until the middle of the 2019 summer and only because of the local jeepers clubs. With all this heat the snow is almost gone here.

    I have not been in that valley but both north and south as well as west of there have seen good rain so I would think so. Not a ton of snowpack left so creeks will start to drop soon..

    Hunting CO?

    There will always be a few around as the saving grace IMO for these late seasons will be the sprawling development and 3 ac houses.... Bucks especially big bucks are smart and will find these “pockets” of private where they are safe. Problem for guys like me will be crowding. Yea I can pry...

    When did you kill your first deer?

    1984 I believe... My dad and uncles put me on a monster but I was shaking and missed. The next day I could not pass on this guy and dropped him. He still has a special place on the wall.

    I am not sure what trophy hunting is but I find if you live, trust, and enjoy the process as a life choice that many trophies of various sizes usually find a way on to the garage wall or better yet into the freezer..
