LAST EDITED ON Oct-17-19 AT 08:52PM (MST)[p]With the Utah rifle opener coming up it got me thinking and laughing about some things that happen on opening day. Here in tardville about 3 years ago on the archery opener I was excited to watch this basin where I had seen a handful of good bucks during scouting. This basin was well off the beaten path. So me and my buddy are sitting there well before first light and out of nowhere comes a guy his two kids and a dog. One kid goes up the bottom of the Basin the other guy walks right by us and drops down through the top of the Basin and his daughter with her dog cuts into the side of the basin. In the vague light you could see deer bouncing off. The three of them met in the basin and then headed out. They were bushwhacking through this basin, headlamps glaring. To this day I have no idea what the heck they were doing. I wondered if they were Tree Huggers trying to save the deer, but it seems strange to do this on an archery opener. I could see on a rifle opener. Needless to say the morning hunt was a loss. So let's hear it, what weird things have you seen happen opening day. I have some other crazy stories but don't want to type forever. This will probably give us a few good laughs, let's hear them.
