Saw one deer all day & it saw me first so no shot. Now I remember why I hunt public land - think you found a spot no one else has found, lean up against a tree & get comfy & BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!! 100 yards around the bend. So then you think, crap, & still hunt your way 500 yards away to a better spot & an hour later BOOM goes the muzzleloader just behind the big tree over there....

Only like 6 permits showed up this morn, so there were 44 open spots for standby-I was the 2nd drawn, so that part was great. Just alot of people that liked the same spots.

Will try Green River tomorrow & see if it's a little less crowded.
