Title: Anyone hunt 346 over the weekend?
Post by: Rick on October 18, 2010, 09:38:11 AM: It was as slow as I've seen it in over 15 years of hunting Bald Mt. My son and I didn't see a single deer in two days of hunting. My brother saw a doe and a fawn and my dad was blanked also.

Talked to a couple other hunters and they hadn't seen a deer either. Only heard a couple shots. Was very surprised at the lack of hunters in the area.

Bluebird days,bright nights,no pressure to get animals moving. Just a tough weekend. :'( :chuckle:

Better hunting conditions may not have resulted in you seeing any more deer than you did. Hopefully you had a nice camping trip anyway! :)
