Thank you to all who shared some information on where to hunt. We tried a couple of the spots plus one that I took a nice buck out of last year. The boys saw one small two point, no shot. We put in a lot of miles. They were a bit frustrated but I think they are excited enough to hunt some more.
On a related note, this was a very disappointing hunt. All in all I personally hunted or took the boys to a half dozen different areas and I didn't see much at all. I saw a few doe but very little sign of deer. I saw bull after bull, including a very nice 6 on the north slope of the uintas, but I got tired of seeing elk. This was the worst deer season I have seen in quite awhile. But I'm glad to see others were getting into them. Will probably take the muzzleloader out on the general hunt.
