A bunch of us got together for the dove opener with plans to move into the high country for an archery hunt the next day. The dove opener was slower than most but I managed to scare a few. Later that day TK and I went for a long drive to scout for quail. Well we didn't see too many quail, but did find a herd of mule deer with several nice bucks in it. We drove back to camp and told one of our best archers approximately where we last saw the deer. I took my usual afternoon nap and awoke to find the guys back with a fine buck in the back of the truck.

They found the deer pretty near where TK and I told them we saw them. A short stalk and it was buck down! That's a fine way to kick off the season IMHO. We had dove poppers, and deer backstrap on the BBQ that night.
