Hiking and Checking Game Cams.

It's been a little over a month since Al and I set our trail cams in a spot we wanted to scout, we finally have a weekend that we can check the cams. Al will be at my house at 4am tomorrow so we can make the drive to the trail head (about 45 minutes). Then we will hike the 4 miles to our cam location. The area we set them looked promising and we a hoping to find some big deer. Depending what is on the cams, they will either stay up or we will pull them and get to a new spot. Once that decision has been made it's a 5 mile hike back to where we had our cams set last year. We are going to hang a new one up in this spot to see if anything is left over from last season. We saw 3-4 sets of fawns during hunting season, hopefully they have grown into a few nice bucks. After that, it's back out the last 3-4 miles to the truck where cold water, a protein shake, Pat's Back country and my bow will be waiting. We should have a little time to shoot so we will set up a few targets and let some carbon fly. Then it is back to the house to enjoy the rest of my Saturday. If all goes to plan we should be home by 1 or 1:30pm. It is going to be in the low 90s by mid morning so we want to get in an out. All in all we will hike about 12 miles for the day while most of my buddies are recovering from the night before.
