Both of my boys were able to harvest bucks on opening weekend.
Trey (12) missed a buck opening morning but his 16 year old brother (Ty) was able to find a 3x2 buck bedded mid day on Saturday and shoot him in his bed at 264 yards. After working the buck up, we loaded up our packs and hunted the rest of the day for Trey. We weren't able to find another shot opportunity but enjoyed the day together.
Sunday was rainy and miserable, so we waited a bit to go out and didn't start hunting until about 11:00. We were fortunate to have some deer bumped into us as we were hiking in that morning and only a little over half way up our climb. The group had 3 bucks, a couple of 2x2 and a 3x2. Trey was able to anchor the buck at 297 yards to complete out weekend success. Sorry, the picture on Trey's isn't great with all of the rain and fog, also can't really see the 3rd with the straight on photo angle.
