No problem traveling, just don't want to be a day late and 150 dollars short.

I usually go to the Joe Watt area for the May 1 opener. Everyone races off to their favorite spots when the gate is opened. I just park at the bottom and then hike up to the top. Lately I have had to walk all day to find one antler, but some people find zero. Hard to imagine when a guy sees all the branch antlered bulls when the hay is put out. A lot of theories why are created at the end of the day. I do believe people are in there long before May 1, but they can't find them all. I found a seven point antler in the lower area on Memorial weekend a few years ago and that was after I spent the day hiking the drainage. Try to keep a positive attitude and keep looking at the ground. When you stop use the binos to look over the area. Hope you find something. I doubt I will be there this year, work and family has other plans for me.

Glad you liked it... Showing my creative side
In all seriousness though lots of people sneek in early and cheat and after the gamies found out they can make a buck... Well, we know what happens . oh well, its still a good chance to get out a get a good walk

We and our COASTIE COUSINS will be over to watch people get bucked off of horses. We saw game warden show in montana and I laughed the whole show. I thought OAK Creek was the only place this stuff happened!!!!!
