I posted a detailed hunt report, but what the heck, I'll post a few photos here too:
Opening week of Montana rifle elk/deer season was the last week of October. It turned sub-zero cold and snowing, so the elk were coming out of the mountains and feeding more in the valley. My son-in-law took his very first elk on opening day and I followed up the next day with my elk. We both took a whitetail later in the week.
Now I am watching whitetails on my game cameras in the backyard in Louisiana and will see if I can get one with a bow. This is the buck that occasionally shows up in my backyard. Several doe show up daily, so hopefully I'll cross paths with this big boy soon! I've seen lots of hogs, a raccoon and a coyote on the game cams too.
Note: my property is not high fenced, but the neighbor behind me is. The deer and hogs come under the fence, right where this game camera is set up.
