Well..I officially lamed out.

[TrumpkinTheDwarf]

Wish I were there! I don't get to head north for another week. It looks like there's enough snow up high to stick around though, thankfully!

 

[Walkathon]

Glad I'm not going until next weekend. Jeeesshhhhh.....

I pulled the plug on my opening Weekend trip on Thurs. 8 hrs driving each way for 3 days of hunting in what looks to be pretty miserable conditions just didn’t make sense. Staying here in UT for the last weekend of rifle deer instead. Will look to get to MT another weekend prior to a weeklong hunt there with my son over Thanksgiving. He’s bringing a friend who has never hunted, so looking forward to introducing a newbie to the world of wild things and wild places.

Good luck to all the adventurous souls who braved the elements this weekend!

Another opening day of bad decisions as usual. Blow downs, lots of snow and short legs dont mix. I'm thankful none of us got hurt. We helped 2 other trucks stuck in the snow. Not a bad day to miss. Didnt see a single animal but I still had a lot of fun. Hopefully tomorrow is a little better.

 

[mtmander]

stayed in , went out for a while and came back , tomorrow is the real opening day

Look on the bright side. When it warms up and this snow settles, melts a little and crusts up.....well that’ll suck too.

 

[Clam]

I looked out the window, saw high winds and ent back to bed as well.

About 10 the wind calmed, and we got started. Saw one nice buck with afterburners on run by, and another one too far away. a couple of little does came and looked at me. 15 at 300yds. Gotta go

I filled my whitetail doe tag...

It’s not the when, it’s the what. And the what is experience. I would rather not spend time digging myself, or someone else, out of a drift. I have other days. Because that option is open to me, I will exercise it. If I had planned a trip, well, my answer may change.

Did your all day efforts shake a bull out of its bed?

Nope, But it was way better than staying at home. mtmuley

Fair enough. mtmuley

I've been out hunting all day, every day for the last week. The boundaries of today's hunt was limited....plus I wasn't certain I could get out after a day of drifting.
It was the right move.
Back after it Monday.
Good luck Muley.

I get it Hem. Like I told another HT'er. I figure you only get so many bulls. Gotta get after them while you can. Headed back up tomorrow, hope the cold scares more folks away. mtmuley

The day after the storm. Light winds and cold. Tomorrow looks like a perfect day to be out.

You are correct. Only so many bulls.
Been on my mind.

One does only get so many opportunities, but I can count on one hand the number opening days I’ve hunted in 25 years.

 

[Seeleylakehunter]

I slept on the mtn last night in my walmart tent. Woke up to almost 2 feet of snow. Seen 3 does and a spike buck until I headed home at 2 . Thanking God for my fireplace this evening.
