I've been out scouting 3 days so far. In this area (Southwest), I haven't seen any bucks with does yet.
I did check 3 different migration corridors this weekend and there has been a good bit of migration activity. With a significant storm rolling through mid week, I'd expect all mule deer to be within their Winter ranges by the opening day. I noticed that at least a few elk have even started migrating down as well.
If you're headed in from out of state, I'd make full Winter preparations. The mountains will be getting about 2 feet this week with the initial wave on Tue and Wed and a round 2 which will mean that it may be still snowing opening morning.
