Nice Job. Did G&F say how many had checked in on Sat as there had only been 9 all day Fri. It sounds like Sat. was busy.

My son got his first deer. Thanks to the suggestions on areas to hunt from the members. We hunted hard all day and didn't see our first deer until around 4:00 P.M. when we kicked up a buck and a doe. We hiked and glassed all morning and saw plenty of sign, but no deer. The buck and doe were in thick juniper and disappeared. Finally about 20 minutes later we caught two doe out in the open. My son set up with a 100 yard shot and dropped her where she stood. Great experience! As of Friday night there had only been 9 deer checked in with G&F. When I talked to G&F in the early afternoon there had only been 4. I believe a total of 100 permits for this youth hunt, so G&F said this was extremely low for opening day. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks

My son got drawn for his first big game hunt for 12A W in early Nov. - doe tag. I've hunted turkey up there in early Fall and I've seen plenty of deer up on the plateau that time of year. When do the deer start to move? Is it all dependent on the snow? If there is heavy snow what is best access to the area? Thanks

Thanks for the input. My son is so excited.

Did anyone have success? I went up Fri. & Sat to help on a hunt..... Windy all day Fri. and heavy snow and wind all day Sat.

That is antlerless....

Unfortunately we had an anterless elk tag.
