[QUOTE="Lungdeflator, post: 184742, member: 5163"] Another report from last weekend. Went down Friday evening and hunted all day Saturday and half day Sunday. Just myself this time. Saturday after all the rain, the deer were still holed up and bedded down by sunrise. Didn't see any moving around the first 1.5hrs of glassing, so started walking. Checked a spot over a ridge and didn't see anything, but then as I got further down the ridge I saw a decent buck staring at me, tucked way up under a cedar. Ended up being a bachelor group of 3 with one really nice one in it. They took off, I sat down right away and after 20 minutes was able to catch them sneaking over another ridge half a mile away. I made it over to the ridge pretty quickly, but never saw them again. Midday I went to a new spot and got really lucky to catch another bachelor group up on their feet moving beds. It started raining again and they moved into some thick stuff. Almost impossible to get close in the thick stuff, let alone see them once I was in, but with the rain and wet ground I gave it a go. Got to within 40 yards and just couldn't see them. After 10 minutes of glassing bushes and cedars 20-40 yards away, they finally stood up and took off. I didn't chase them at all. There was only a few hours of daylight left but I was soaked and cold so I called it a day. Driving around towards dark after the rain stopped, the deer were really moving. Sunday morning the fog was crazy thick and didn't lift until 9-930am. Saw a few does and a couple yearling bucks, but no big ones. Walked a bit and checked a few spots but never did see a decent buck. Probably would have been a good day if the fog wasn't there. Probably the last time I go hunt down there during or after a bigger rain. The idea sounded good beforehand, with the rain quieting the dry grasses. Hoping to give it another try in a few weeks.
