I did not see a deer yesterday morning. Headed home after the morning hunt. I too enjoyed the early hunt and it is unfortunate the weather did not cooperate. I believe with the terrain and the wind blowing like it did the deer can stay far enough ahead of you even if you are walking miles.
I have hunted this place a good bit in the past few seasons and I have an easier time seeing deer in the early season. Once the rut is over I cannot find a deer at all. With better weather I think a lot of deer could have been killed. My only problem with the hunt is that it is before youth weekend. I would like for the youth to be able to get in the woods before everyone else. Maybe have the youth hunt a weekend sooner and then the special opportunity hunt on the weekend the youth hunt typically happens?
I seen a lot of kids in trucks. I think a 9 year old got a 8 point. People need to take kids with them on this hunt.
