    Today was the season opener and shortly after dawn I watched a 7 or 8 bucks parry over a group of does. One big bodied buck chased the younger bucks to keep them away from the does but the group began to break up and big buck kept getting distracted by certain does nearly but not quite ready to mate. What a show it was! And it was one of several shows throughout the day. By 9 a.m. I lost count but had seen 35-40 buck deer among countless does.

    I have never hunted the mule deer rut before, and clearly I've missed out. What fun it was to watch this incredible mating behavior all within a hundred yards with the deer completely careless of my presence. By the end of the day I had watched over 50 buck deer. Still exploring the area looking for that special one....

    I had to work opening day. While on the way to a call, we saw a very large buck in a yard. I would take a guess he was atlwast 180-190", one of the largest I have seen in years.
    After the call, I called my captain and asked if I had to get a drug test for hitting a deer with the engine. He told me no. When I mentioned the homeowners weren't going to be to happy about their fence and yard, he just went silent. I think my superiors hate me.

    Got this image through the spotting scope at 350 yards with the cell phone. 3x3 buck not including brow tines, and somewhat bigger than the typical I've been seeing. I'm thinking he's about the best I will find. Click image for larger version.

    Good looking buck from that angle. Not a monster if you are on a high preference point tag, but a good size.

    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    Our 4 man group took two cow elk today. Mother and 2 year old (est).

    We still have 2 Bull, 2 cow, and 2 Buck to try to fill...

    Don't freak out about meat in the sun. They were already cool and just hung to dry a bit in 35F after getting cleaned up.

    I had a nice Buck in my sights Sunday morning just waiting a moment for him to clear a thick groove of small trees and some dbag that parked himself about 60 yards from me spooked him before I could squeeze the trigger.
