No deer, but a great time with friends and family in the woods.

Left Friday with my bro to head to our usual opening day spot.
Set up camp Friday night and relaxed around the camp fire for a bit then headed to bed.
Up before the sun to hike our boots off.
Hiked all day in multiple weather changes and heard only a few shots.
My cousin missed a bear at 300 yards. All in all it was a great first weekend.
Headed back next weekend to try our luck again.
My brother and i did set up our trail camera just to see what kind of animals might be around.
Cant wait to check it on Friday.

Nice report and pictures... I know where you were... is the outhouse still sitting up there ? I loved the views from there...

Are they still looking for someone to volunteer to man that look-out, as part of the history?

Glad you had a great time. That area is beautiful especially by the cattle guard !! Maybe next time you will have a little more luck to go with the views. Did any of you hang out by the wood ground blind?
