How was opening day for those of you that were able to get out there? I had to sit at work all day and wonder about what i was missing out on. Was there much activity? I'm mostly curious about the Weyco Vail area and Capital Forest. Hope it was active for everyone! Good Luck!

That's crappy you were also at work but awesome for your friend. Hopefully activity is high where I'll be.

I hunted for six hours in Matlock and saw no deer. After that I went to Capitol Forest and also saw no deer.

Doe and fawn off Dabob Rd. on state land. Lots of rigs parked at gates and a few road hunters. Headed back in a few minutes.

The weather for this late buck season is not good for BT hunting.

Crazy that I haven't used my rain gear this season, global warming!

Yeah this weather is something else. Warm elk season, warm late deer. Maybe the freeze tonight will get them motivated to move and warm up.

Hunted mason county all day yesterday and today and not a single deer. Fresh rubs, tracks a poop galore. Tried everything. Still hunted the timber, reprod and clearcuts. Glassed, watched straight stretches, rattled, grunted, bleated, nothing. Threw the kitchen sink at them from sun up to sun down, to no avail. Might bite the bullet and bust out the treestand. Good luck to all and keep us posted on how you do.

Went for a walk without a gun today in 530. It was actually misty pissing rain all afternoon. Lots of fresh sign, heard a couple of deer jumping around, saw squat, got wet. It was better than sitting around the house.
