Opening day verdict

[3nails]

 For hunting up high it was perfect conditions. Clear and cold. 4" of snow. Hiked 3 hours in the dark to get to one of my favorite spots and my son got a 3 pt blacktail.

Watched the Seattlites driving around in their $40,000 pickups hunting in their camo clothes and orange vests. Bought a 16' camp trailer. Drank some beer. Watched, Sometimes a Great Notion.

After getting home from football after midnight (got to love traveling to away games in a small town), the youngest and I slept in.  Listened to the scanner most of the day.  Sheriff spent a lot of time dealing with trespassers.  Went out for a late afternoon/evening hunt.  First spot we went there were several rigs.  No problem, the thing the got me spun up was the gut pile 10 yds off the road in plain sight.  Went the second spot there were about 6 rigs.  Headed towards the river.  Third spot wasn't too crowded.  Worked our way through the area but only saw a mulie doe.   We saw about 20 mulie does, no bucks and no WT.  This morning as I sit here on the laptop I've watched about 15 rigs on the move.

I didnt kill one but seen 9 different bucks by 730 and got within 55 yards of a really nice 3x with eye guards twice. He did not present the shot i felt good with.

Opening day was pretty slow for us.  My Grandpa and I hunted all day and did not see a single deer.  My dad and brother hunted another spot and it was crowded so they left early but they saw 6 does.  Today we all went to a spot where no one else was hunting and my brother managed to get a spike down in the bottom of a big canyon.  Shot it at 8:00AM got it back to the truck at 1:00PM. on the way out we jumped a couple big bucks bedded in the reprod but my brother had my gun when I was dragging his deer and they were gone before I could get a shot.  They are not moving much hopefully we get some rain next weekend to get the blacktails moving a little more.

Beautiful weather. Spent the weekend splitting wood and a few hours chasing quail. Also helped a neighbor process a really nice buck taken off the LT Murray.  I have seen 4 really nice bucks taken off the LT this weekend. Deer pops finally rebounding it seems.

Camp, I was going to jokingly say tell my dad hi for me. Sounds like he ended up buying some wood from you, what are the chances

Opening day was great for the guys that I went hunting with. They went 6 for 6 opening morning. I hunt archery so I am waiting for late season. It seemed like the deer numbers were down and there weren't nearly as many mature bucks that we had seen last season.
