Opener was wednesday, today(sunday) 1st time out.

Today went out hunting pronghorn. Walked out seen nothing then went out to the truck. A guy past by and said he missed a average buck at 40 yards.We went out again except with my decoy. We seen a nice buck with 2 does. The buck was really curious but the does thought there was something was up. They starting walking off and stopped and looked back again. We tried to walk after them but they kept going and stop to look. They were gone so we went back to the truck. We walked the road and seen a buck bedded 80 yards from the road. My dad tried to sneak up to it but when 60 yards to it stood up, looked for about 2 min... then ran.

This week we are going to give it burn. But friday night we leave for elk hunting.
