Went over to scout a day, and then hunt the opener. Just returned from the unit this morning and thought I'd post some early info for anyone with a tag there this year. I had the WT buck and two extra doe tags to fill. No sign of rut yet in either the MD or WT, think it needs 7-10 more days. There is only about a third of the normal numbers of MD down low, and very little weather up high to push them down. Saw about 300 mule deer, including 30 bucks total. There are close to 40 sheep down in the hay fields to look at. Got about 3-4" of new snow on Togwatee Pass last night. The best buck I saw would only be about 24" 4x4. There is not a lot of pressure yet from locals in the WyGF lower hayfields. Most everyone is up Horse Creek or Union Pass areas. Saw 8 WT bucks on private land, but no shooters, and a couple baby bucks on public.
The extra doe tags are done and filled. Just like shooting sporting clays - a left and a right, and done. Only a hundred yard drag to get both to the truck. Pretty fine eating right there! Now I have to get busy cutting them up. Ran into a fuzzy wuzzy critter while I was coming home this morning, full grown boar of about 400#. They are certainly impressive up close.
