I have to t he 18th I think. (kind of infringing on Montana) You'd think I know, but I usually tag out the first day in the first 15 minutes so never have to worry about it.... I thought about that this morning. I elk hunted for a today of 1 hour last year, and deer hunted for aobut an hour. LOL This year, I ahve been enjoying the hunt. Mostly I have the bow. I did carry the rifle for a coupel hours today just for fun. With this snow though, there should be some deer showing up.
