Muzzy deer opener

[mfswallace]

Been huntin now for a month and won't stop until I'm done.........
Multi-season tag "winner"

But we haven't tagged out yet so does that make us Multi-season tag "losers"?   

or just picky   

Probably both

I heard there might be a dusting of SNOW in the higher elevations next weekend. ?? It was on the news this morning.

  What is picky like? I definitely fall into the loser category

Went out for an evening ride tonight at dusk and on the way home a car in front of me hit a hugh 4-point buck with eye gaurds, go figure,

i took the week off, was planning on going to asotin since last season...unfortunately that got canned due to fire danger and nobody wanting to go.

looks like most of the woods are closed up around my area.  got one old timer buddy that wants me to pick off one of his garden eating deer one of these evenings, might have to take him up on it.

Congrats golf guy!!!

thanks, it was definitely a different experience than the other two weapons. I would like to say that it only took one shot, but there were some learning curves here. First shot I thought she was a little farther away than she was, shot over the top. Second shot was a bad rest off of a small deadfall with 20-30mph winds. Now after getting mad I say screw it and close the distance from intially 150 to about 35 yards. 3rd shot was as she was facing me, slightly quartering away went in just in front of her left shoudler, exited middle of the rib cage. Lifted her up off of the ground, then sent her tumbling about 10 yards closer to me (close enough to see she had blood coming out her nose.

I was really hoping to have the bullet stay in the deer to see how much weight it retained.

I was very excited until yesterday started... I don't know if it's because of all the multi tags or because of the fires but I have never seen another person where I hunt until this year, Yesterday and today I saw people everywhere.  I don't hunt on the roads but don't usually have to get that far off of them for deer where I go, but people want to rally their 4wheelers around and now I haven't seen nearly as much.

I have the multi tag too but I'm starting to wish they wouldn't have made these tags.

I was in an area that was partially closed due to fires, and was shocked at how few people I saw. Hunting pressure was non existant.

I hiked in 3 miles and  only saw a handfull of hunters, one herd of elk, and got into a pack of howling wolfs, not exactly what I was looking for.

Us, too...but we didn't see many deer once the season opened.  The day before, driving around scouting, we saw two toad bucks.  Over the next two days, a grand total of one doe at about 150 yards on the run.
