[QUOTE="The Trinity Kid, post: 1378263, member: 91382"] Part 2 of the 25. This is where I set up to glass. I walked all the way around the rim of the cut and was about half way down the other side. I had a bush to my back, and a stump to put my backpack on as a rifle rest. I was only here for around 45 minutes, but in that time I saw a coyote, two does and a buck. Unfortunately, deer season ended two months ago, and I didn't want to scare any bears by shooting the coyote, so I didn't take any of them. From where I was sitting to the top of the other hillside was 600y. Looking down canyon I could see about 550.[ATTACH=full]86539[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]86541[/ATTACH] After my 45 minute glass, I continued down this side of the cut. It drops down into the treeline again near a year-round creek. [ATTACH=full]86542[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]86543[/ATTACH] I found a few tracks, but none were terribly fresh. There is an old logging road at the bottom that leads back to where I started, so I took that.[ATTACH=full]86544[/ATTACH] The brush is so thick that you can only see about 20 yards at the most. But there were a lot of Live Oaks, and they still had acorns on the tree, so I didn't rule seeing a bear out. But then, the road comes back into the "no shooting" area. Which, granted, is too dense to shoot anything anyway, but still. That feeling of knowing "it's over for today" never feels good.[ATTACH=full]86545[/ATTACH] And that was pretty much the end of my hunt on the 25. I still had a little more than a mile to get back to the truck. [/QUOTE]
