I spent my 12 day eastern Oregon season chasing a big buck. I scooped up some tracks to make soup with my tag.

Today is the First Day of our Modern Gun season. It's for Private Land and Antlerless Only. Our deer were moving at the break of light and I saw one on the 1/4 mile drive way before I could get parked. I ALWAYS walk into the property, leaving truck and wheeler loaded. I stopped and checked the wind. It was supposed to be E, haha it was SW. So I changed my plan and started sorta in the middle of the property and was hunting W-SW. I bumped 3 as I topped a rise and they only trotted off. While I was stalking I felt the wind on the BACK of my neck - UH OH ! I was changing tactics when 2 more approached from the S headed N. I happened to be beside an Oak and small Cedar so I froze and they changed directions and fed toward me. One was an Adult Doe and the other was a Yearling - last yrs. fawn . SO........ BAM 7:30 AM CDST. This is the FIRST day to hunt my Tikka T 3X Lite SS 7mm RM and the FIRST shot at game ! ! I think I like it. Jerry

A bunch of rubs have shown up in the past few days. Ain't seeing the buck at the apple trees, but the apples are gone. I'm sure he's the one making them. I just hope it's cool, with a NW wind on the 3rd. My place sucks with a S or SE wind.

Couldn't find the big 3 from last week but found this little guy early yesterday morning. And I'll admit I doubt I've been more nervous and shakey hunting than I was yesterday waiting for this buck to come into range and be able to get a shot. Felt just like a little kid again on my first hunt so although hardly a trophy buck I was happy to get him, especially with the bad luck I've had all deer season. Maybe have a chance in the dinkathon As long as ya are or get shakey ya still got it. what ever it is I think its good.

Tomorrow Sat. Nov 10 is the opener of our Modern Gun season. In my zone it’s 5 weeks with 6 weekends. From posts by others I know it’s opening day in a few other States too.
We had a few days of Mzl season in Oct. I don’t hunt Mzldrs but during that time I saw ONLY Does with Fawns.
Our temp has dropped to lows of @ 30* and highs in the 40-50s. I’m READY ! !
Good Luck to ALL this year.
Jerry

Yesterday was opening day for us. I passed on a a nice 8 earlier in the morning. Immediately regretted it after, decided to go down to where I last saw him and wait. Not too long after that this guy came walking through. Couldn’t really tell how big he was with the tangle of junk he was in. After shooting him I realized he was not the same 8 that disappeared into the briars and brambles an hour before. So I got a dink for 2018 lol. Also was the first blood for my .375 h&h.
