100 % agree with Crunchy....don't waste your time hunting the first week-week and 1/2 of regular season. i have that permit and have only been out once verifying what i already know--the last week of october and the few days of late season in november is the best. my hunting partner shot his best buck last year in vail on october 29th and i saw the best buck i've ever seen in vail shot at and missed twice by my other buddy's 10 year old son on the second to the last day of the regular season and the 2nd day of late season...a monster 4 pt with eyeguards chasing does both days at daybreak...missed it both times at about 75 yards...deer would have made b&c book easy and i am pretty sure he is still there...hopefully in a week or so i can show you a pic of him..
