Put in three hours spotting for my bud this morn, saw 7 does closest one at about 5 yards. Did a walk in unit and only saw 2 other hunters. Now I have to go help him move on opening day :bash: :bash: Oh well I am muzzy hunting anyway. But what perfect blacktail weather. Mark

left the trailhead at 6am with redstar (we were a little slow getting organized).

had a helicopter hover over us, saw electricity arcing on powerlines, got rained on too much.

just got back to dry off a little.

Think I heard a gunshot (could've been thunder) way off in the distance.

 Pretty slow today, heard five shots all day. saw a few deer, two does identified and at least one other. Had a 6x6 and 4x4 bull come into my stand area, god I wish I had my camera, I did get this guy on the way home. More to come later in the week I hope.

I hunted the umptanum unit between selah and ellensburg. Heard first rifle shot at like 6:10... A bit early. Saw about 30-40 deer. Hiked for about 7 hours. Heard some close shots below me to find a big 2pt running my way. Never could put the third point on him.

Heard about 50 rifle shots around me in all directions. Very good hunt. Goin back tommorow.

Mumble/grumble.... :bash: :bash:  My plane arrived from Japan at about 9:00AM..then clearing through customs and having to stop at work before driving home just BEAT.....sorta put a damper on my day.  Spent the last week in Japan on business.

Tomorrow I'll be out for part of the day...likely hunt evening as my body is still flaked out on sleep from the time change.

Couldn't believe how many roadhunters there were in the canyon.  Everyone trying to glass up a deer.  Even guys with boats on them to get across.  Funny.

So far no luck for me. For a week straight, I was getting this guy + two other bucks on my TC every day up until Friday. Wouldn't you know it, one day before hunting season and he vanishes. I think he was maybe pre-rutting because there were a couple does hitting it too and I was seeing the most activity when the we had that cold streak. Now since it warmed up and started raining, I haven't seen him or the other two bucks just a doe :dunno: I have my camera on a very large piece of private property that I am certain no one else is hunting so I think he is still around somewhere. I'll just keep after him and cross my fingers. I have about twenty pics of this buck. He's pretty cool looking. Im only about an hour drive away, but I won't make it out today until this evening :bash:

Some mature bucks are already hitting it hard. I saw a dead three point yesterday that had fresh cuts from fighting all over his head and neck.

 It's been really, really slow in my area, 5 shots yesterday, only one shot today for 200 rigs, no gutpiles, game being checked out or in back of trucks. Almost thinking of trying another spot or two the next couple days until later in the season.

 Coincidentally all 200 of those rigs except mine and two others were just road hunting. Frigging rediculous.
