[...] temperatures are in the triple digits some smart people head for the high upper country to do their scouting. Then there are those whose brains don’t seem to think clearly… [...]

Great scenery and I’m sure the elevation garnered you all a reprieve from the triple digits. Good luck to all on your hunt.

Holly – I urge you to do it. This was the first time I’ve ever spent any time before season in the field, too…mostly because out here, it’s a lot of work to get a scouting trip done – it’s not out in the back pasture! But, man was it worth it – the mountains in July look like the valley in March…green everywhere and flowers in full bloom – really gets the blood pumping to see all the abundant food source!

What a great trip! Scouting is something I’ve done very little of in my first three years as a hunter – it’s definitely a next step for me. Thanks for the inspiration!

Wendy – You bet. Thanks again for the gear!

Arthur – Sometime you’ll have to make a trip out our way and we’ll show you a good experience. You may not kill the biggest bull – heck, may not kill a bull period – but we could sure show you an awesome hunt! If you can make it work on your end…I’d be willing to take you out to experience it firsthand!

Dan – It does look like some of the Rocky Mountain country – my cousin liked it because it reminded him of the country you see them taking big bucks out of the Colorado country. Not nearly as high though – only a sliver over 8K feet.

Looks like you found some great country. The scenery is very similar to some of my favorite stomping grounds in NW Wyoming.
Good luck and keep the reports coming!

It still amazes me that every one of your hunts is an adventure. I can’t imagine having to put that much effort into a hunt; it looks gorgeous, though, and I’m sure it would be an absolute blast.

Thanks so much for Sporting our Surf and Sheds Gear! It looks like you had a good scouting trip! Maybe you will have better luck spotting Elk next trip! At least the scenery was fantastic!
