my zone 21 finally opens next saturday . ive done some scouting the last 2 weeks and today was interesting. i seen a bunch of different deer from 11am till 3pm. they seem to be walking the fire roads in a daze or something. i think maybe with little rain the water situation has got them moving to look. some of them dont run away till you get on top of them with the truck. some look a bit skinny showing ribs with there red summer coat while others are getting that winter grey coat already. i wonder if this is just a genetics thing. hope we get some rain. i see my hard hard earned license money is being well spent. i dont see any sign of fall field planting or burn off. they usually have the fields at least overturned and plowed up by now. if there thinkling its gonna be a dry fall they should do a burn off to get some kind of winter feed going.
