    Yep leave at 4:30 am in the dark. You want to be well up before first light. Once its shooting light find a good lookout so you can see a lot of real estate and glass hard. Dont be surprised if you dont see anything until the sun hits the faces . Good luck.

    Went out this morning, blowing its tits off, so came back home. I would suggest that you are walking before 4.30, I could have shot at that hour this morning, it was light enough on the east side of the hills.
