A little late, as this is a report from last Saturday-Monday. We hunted down by Grassy Butte and with my wife 6 months pregnant, I was basically there to help her get a deer. She was able to get 2 really good stalks in, but couldn't close the deal, same buck a nice 3x3, once on Sunday and once on Monday.
First stalk she ended up at 30 yards, but couldn't get a shot as the buck was bedded too far behind a cedar. She got busted as she tried to move laterally for a shot.
Second stalk we had some miscommunication, we were looking at different lines and thought we were on the same page. I was able to get her back on track with some hand signals, but she assumed she was going to end up above the buck. She was able to get within 10 yards, but lost track of where she was and was paying attention to below her, not slightly above her. If she would have looked up slightly I think she could have killed him at 10-15 yards.
Overall we saw 2 really nice mulies and only a handful were hard horned. Evenings were terrible and there were a ton of other hunters in the area. We were basically done and back to the truck by 1-2:00 every day to escape the heat. Kudos to my wife for being a trooper. We moved slow and she did great despite the terrain and heat.
I plan on going back down next weekend, probably a solo endeavor.
