Opening day was a long one. 11.5 miles and quite a bit of elevation gained and lost. No bucks were harmed or seen. I did see a Wolverine which I feel is a rare occurrence in Oregon. I saw goats, does, piles of elk,and a bobcat as well. This is some cool and rough country to hunt. Hopefully next weekend we can turn up some deer with antlers. Probably didn’t help that there were 14 vehicles at the trailhead 🤢😬. I think I need to a horse and some younger mules so we can leave the crowds behind Zach Mansfield
