Thanks for the tip! I just checked the boundaries, and the south side of the road isn’t in the boundary for this hunt. They’ll have to cross the road though if they water at the reservoir.

Sorry. I was talking about middle canyon. The fields aren’t in the boundary. The oak brush hillside is

My 13 year old has the Settlement Canyon archery doe tag. Hopefully we’ll have a success story to share in a month or so. 🤞

Good luck! I was hoping to have that tag this year. One of these times they'll have to give it to me lol

Come on, guys, we need more pics and success reports!

bullets worked. Took a minute to find a dry doe that would cooperate for a decent shot

Makes sense, I was thinking the toll booth in Settlement Canyon. I’ll have to check that out.

That's solid advise. There's a new ish toll booth at the bottom of middle canyon on the Tooele side. I drive the canyon regularly and see deer from the golf course all the way up the canyon. You could also try by the gun club. You'll see all the trucks on the road with binos and spotters. There are plenty of deer up there too.

The weather was awesome this morning. About as good as I could ask for in early August. We found what appeared to be a lone doe but weren't able to stalk in undetected. It got pretty quiet after the first hour of daylight, as usual.

I can't decide how I feel about hunting deer in August. On the one hand, it's good to be out hunting during a time of year when I usually am not able to. On the other hand, there's a certain charm to a crisp October morning that's hard to beat.

Nice day. I'm glad I get to go back next week and try again.

Anyone else notice a lack of fawns? Tons of nice bucks though

Checkout the exit wound on this, I hit her at 200 yards

When my son and I were out scouting for his buck tag a couple weeks back, we saw a ton of fawns. Numerous does with twins and saw one doe with triplets. May just be the area.

What were you shooting?

 

[Ray]

What were you shooting?

I watched several groups of deer and didn’t see one fawn, probably just different areas. I was also hunting pretty low, not tons of water.

I used a 270 win with a 150 grain federal premium vital shok, it’s what shoots the best out of my rifle

I have also noticed that all 3 deer I have harvested in August over the years were absolutely covered in ticks. The deer and elk I have shot in August have always been tick free.

So are the deer in August that you have shot absolutely covered or tick free?

I was just gonna leave it alone 😂

my doe had some ticks on her head, none anywhere else I could see and no more than my wife’s buck she shot on the rifle hunt last year.

EDIT:
😂 I didn’t even catch that!

I'm not that nice. Especially when I've been working too much to get to go out and have real fun the last few weeks
