This week was tough with temps in the high 70's and low 80's all week. The deer movement was way down and the hunters struggled to see bucks older than 2 years old. Some does and fawns plus some young bucks where the norm while sitting on stand this week. There where some decent bucks sighted a few times but movement was limited. We also had some cows being moved around into areas we wanted to hunt as this is the time of the year they start shipping them out. That created some frustrating moments to go along with the already really warms temps. Also, some road construction right in front of the one alfalfa field we tried to hunt one evening had all the deer on edge and not coming out. The last evening one hunter made the most of his opportunity and arrowed his 1st Montana whitetail with his recurve bow! Congratulations!
This week we don't have any hunters and then we'll prepare for the general firearm season that will start October 26. Between now and then I'll try to post some more photos from out here.
