I was high but not high enough, I agree the higher usually the better.
That day all I saw was orange all around me , OK I knew this place was a bust. so I was glassing all the near mountains. I notice this guy pointing his rifle at me .
I hit the ground flat as a pancake. the bullet came within inches by my head.
I was lucky that day. so that's why I bow hunt. most guys hunt from their stands & I usually still hunt.
I missed a small buck last year. but that's hunting. at least I got a shot.
I make it tough on my self because I do use a long bow. ;D
Saturday am all the hunters come out then in the evening 99 % go home........that's when the deer come out.
I'm backpacking in a few miles today hoping the road hunters push them to us. I just hope I don't see a pig and have to shoot it. I was going to bring one of my dogs to push the thick canyons but opening day is not the time.
Good luck to all and don't get upset with the crowds they will leave by noon......unless your on Palomar

You know that thats seems logical. I may do the same. I never had any issues with bow hunters.
