Well, the first 2 days of the season were fun, but nothing in the freezer. Had a doe work to me first thing after the sun came up opening day but when she cleared into my window she was walking dead at me maybe 15 feet away. She stood there for a few minutes taking time to lick her back, browse, etc and then started wondering what I was. She jumped away and I whistled stopping her broadside at 15 yds, but was behind enough brush that I didn't take the shot. Saw a couple small bucks that still had velvet and a 6 pt (could have been an 8 but couldn't see brow tines) that was hard bone. Saw 6 deer altogether with only the 6 pt being more than 10 yds away from me.

Boy my season just got interesting. Had a guy buy about a third of the land I hunt. While I hunt it for free I can't really complain. However he is now acting like he owns the whole woods. There's an old county road that has been closed for years that cuts right through the woods. For years I've maintained the road and kept it from growing up. He owns all property on one side of the road, but is acting like he owns the road. Closed it off where I can't get in and has stands set all along the edge of the road. Needless to say I'm afraid there are going to be some run ins along the way this year. Also the 200ac I hunted had no pressure before other than me and one other guy who were very careful and only took mature bucks. Now there are about 10 people hunting his side and shooting everything in sight.

Been seeing lots of animals out here in Idaho, no successful bull stalks but we did put a sneak on a couple of bedded cows. Snuck to 60 yards and put a great shot on a calf that stood up. Just a calf but I'm still proud of my first elk ever and took it with a bow.
Doesn't help us in the contest but still thought I would share it with you guys. I still have a mule deer tag and 5 days to hunt.
