This morning was the season opener for elk and mule deer here where I am in central BC. We had bunked out early last evening, in anticipation of an early start. As has been the case for me for many season openers, sleep does not come easily, and frequent awakenings (is it time to get up yet?) are not conducive to a decent night's sleep. Larry had the same experience.
Anyways, legal shooting light was 0610, but we left here on quads at about 0445 to make our way via narrow bush trails to a spot we had scoped out yesterday. Lots of elk sign, but no critters, and the only elk bugling and chirping was done by Larry.
We were back here by shortly after 1000, and I enjoyed a short nap. This afternoon we are going to a different spot to see if we can find a mule deer buck (at least four points on one side!!!) and/or a bull elk with at least six points on one side. They don't make it easy for a person to shoot an early season animal!
Anyways we will be off shortly in search of game.
