We had moved to Nanton in September so really busy moving and getting settled in. Not much time for hunting. Jacilyn and Darcy took horses and went hunting up the highway over the hill toward chain lakes. Didn't see much opening day but they weren't in the right spot at daylight where all the shooting was. Darcy missed a wolf when his range finder wouldn't work.
