Opening day
« on: October 25, 2008, 07:00:53 PM »
I'm sort of curious to see how everybody did.
I went out to the cowiche and we saw 9-10 elk although 4 were unidentified. We heard tons of shots, way more than I've ever heard. And I saw a good amount of deer and elk sign now we just need some fresh snow :bash:.

I shot 3 times today at a 2x1 that was running about 120 yards in front of me they all missed :'(. But he ran down the other draw and someone else took care of him. Oh well we made someones day and we helped a guy load his 3x1 into his truck.

I was over in cowiche also, saw a couple of herds of cows 15-20 running like hell, all were withing shooting range hoping to see any horns.  Talked to a guy up there and he said the muzzel load season was ever more crowded than it was this last weekend and a number of spikes were taken.  I saw a camp with a little bear hanging but upon leaving I only heard of a couple of elk taken.  I could not beleive how many hunters we saw canyon after canyon there was orange perched everywhere.
