I hunt northwest 5C. Saw a decent number of deer, although the first day was slow. I killed a nice buck at 9:20 that morning while he was running 2 does (first time I've ever seen that in rifle season), a 2nd buck came not long behind them, too.
Most of the deer we saw were seen in the first week, and all natural movement. We hunt a small piece of private land bordering on public land, so we don't drive deer (counterproductive....they just get pushed to somewhere else and don't come back, at least in our case). Lots of natural movement, very little pressure on public land, and the bad weather seems to have kept a lid on the pressure/kill in the area.
High hopes for filling my doe tags in flintlock season!:)
