I don’t know if this is gonna become a regular thing or not.  Once the rest of the state starts opening up, the reports will be too widespread for me to keep up with.  But for now, it’s just Zone A (the largest single zone in the state) and it’s just archery… so I can get a pretty good feel for the season by keeping up with my friends at Jesse’s Hunting and Outdoors.  They make a pretty good representative slice, anyway.

Anyway, the point is that I’m hearing a few more success reports coming in.  Despite the heat and the drought, it seems like the deer populations are in pretty good shape.

Here’s a nice one from this week.  Taken by Matt T.

If all goes well, I’ll add up my own picture after this coming weekend.  The Hogblog will have to fend for itself Saturday and Sunday while I get out and get some fresh air and see if I can scare the critters in Sonoma County.
