Just out of curiosity, mntnguide, is that an east facing slope with the bedded bucks?Thanks for all the good comments! 2 weeks until I'll have my pack loaded for 6 days of highcountry living and the archery opener! Luckily I have a few antelope tags to get me through till then and another scouting trip planned before opener.

You've said that you're hunting Wyoming G,
Correct? I'm headed up Saturday for a hiking trip.

Ya I've been in G a lot and some in H as well. 12 days and I'll be hiking into the highcountry for 6 days of archery opener! ...not that I'm counting or anything. .

Welp. .little update. .went in for 6 days and left with a unpunched tag still and I'm perfectly happy! ..I got to chase my top two bucks multiple days and passed on numerous opportunities on bucks in the 160-180 class. It was hard to pass on good bucks with my bow, but I still have plenty of season and I'm sticking with my hope of putting down a giant! ! My pack on the way in was one of the most painful days. .it was over 90lbs with 35 of that being H2O...but I didn't have to drop all the way down once the whole hunt to get more, so it was worth the pain. .I guess! ..I may go chase elk this weekend and wait till next week's rifle opener to go back up one of my spots and hope to put down a big buck. .I just feel like I need to go chase some bugling bulls for a break! Here are a few pictures from the week in the highcountry.

Fabulous! Living the life MntnGuide. Carpe Diem and Semper Fi. Headed west tomorrow and can hardly wait.
Legs werent all that bad actually, but my back was a bit sore for sure. It went away pretty quick though. Im pretty religious about weight training in the gym year round, all because i want to be ready for those type of loads in hunting season.. But packing it uphill for 2000' of elevation did absolutely suck, no question about it

No better feeling than getting to my truck yesterday. .No trails most the way and a long 6-7 miles, made for a real testament to my stubbornness on packing out my camp and entire deer in one load.
