[QUOTE="aspenbugle, post: 1191764, member: 6481"] 9/10 definitely isn't too early. They should still be in the velvet. Four of us hunted them in September this year. Some of it depends on the unit you are in. They often can be found above/near timberline; especially early and late in the day. If you get a good view and glass a lot, you should find them. If not, try another drainage or two over. HOWEVER...for some odd reason, not all deer subscribe to this in all units. I helped my daughter draw a high country tag in a unit I hadn't hunted before, and scouted what is typically "prime" country and didn't find any, despite glassing a lot of area. I contacted the local fish and game office and they said it was odd, but the deer in that unit didn't like or use that alpine-type area, but hung out primarily in some high, but timbered, area in another part of the unit. Go figure. Most fish and game offices will help you out in general, especially if you call and talk to them now vs. trying to get a vector from them 3 days into the season. 9/10 is perfect timing, you just need to figure out where/how to find them in the unit you are in.
