I'm really at odds on how to get after one of these groups. They are bedding in a flat saddle and the wind seems to get sucked into it from every direction. Trying to ambush them in the morning just as the thermals start to go crazy in the area seems futile.
Any suggestions? I'd really like to finally wrap my hands around a wall worthy velvet buck.
Enjoy the pics courtesy of my beat up Sony Cyber-shot held together with duct tape.
Here are 4 bucks under one tree.
Take care,

I bet if you spend a few days watching them again when season starts and the wind is right, you may get a chance.
Hard with a group of bucks. Maybe you can isolate one of them.

Hopefully they will be rewarded with a citation. I took a pic of their license plate and my gps next to it. I doubt they'll care. They didn't care about the "no motorized vehicle" sign they ran over on the way in either.
Unfortunately that was the theme of the weekend here in Utah (land of the entitled UTV and quad queens). I moved to another spot and had Razors and quads busting through trees into the valley so they could more easily access the area I hiked into. I actually had a guy do it in my camp at the end of the road. He didn't make eye contact and busted through. Couldn't believe they all came back Sunday and even today. Must have been the great weather and the extra tags the DWR gave out. I've never seen pressure like this.
I got two good stalks done in before they blew every deer in the valley out. Unfortunately my stalks were done in by a doe busting me at literally the last half second on the first stalk and branch blocking my bow string on the other. Both were on deer I would have put on the wall.
This unit obviously holds great deer but I have to change it up next year and try a unit with less roads and it MUST be inaccessible to ATV's and UTV's and apparently piece of crap trucks.
Just so frustrated. The sense of entitlement is off the charts! That's my rant for today!
The only difference between what you have and I have is that you have some awesome photos and some awesome bucks. For the amount of scouting that I do and trail camera pics, I haven't seen 1 deer with the qualities you have in your pics.
Sorry to hear your hunt was a bust.
At least the authorities would have some hard evidence to confront them with (if they would go to the trouble of doing so).
Hope you find a good, undisturbed area soon.
Best of Luck, Jeff
