They were pretty quiet for me I seen one rag horn first thing this morning, and got him to take a second look at me.  I have seen allot of fresh rubs they seem to be pretty active, taking a break then I will be back after them this evening.

On the wet side it is pretty brushy.  He went off about 70 yards away.  But as I moved in he kept that distance.  I am planning on going to the same area in the morning... 

Man, work sure cuts into my hunting.    ;)

chased a herd bull this morning, but he wasn't too interested.  Started hiking out, ran across a raghorn 5x5, had him at 45 yards, let him walk, too early in the season for him.

No archery tag this year. And this morning a herd of about 30 cows were half a mile from my house standing in a clear cut, 30 yards off the road and let me park and get out of the truck to take pics for 5 minutes. Could have shot any one of them if I had a archery tag like last year, I always had my bow in the truck  :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: oh heck one more  :bash: :chuckle:

Best part there was a truck parked at the gate and they were about 100 yards from the gate  :chuckle:

Nothing bugling, had a 4x4 at 40 yards but couldn't get a shot.  Then later had a 6 by 6 I tried to call in but no dice.

Ran into another one tonight, and had one come into my setup it winded my son who was backup calling.  They aren't talking in my neck of the woods yet lots of rubs, and sign everywhere they just are very cautious.
