I’m out now, just because it is the opening day. The leaves on the trees really limit visibility. The deer, if there are any, will be right on top of me before I see them. No chance to see them coming to get ready.

I don’t pin much hope on this evening. I was out working in the yard since just after sun up and I never heard a shot.

Work beckoned me this morning, so I had to wait till the afternoon. Saw one small doe a few different times. Had to cut it short at 6:30. When I walked back out to the house this is what I saw. I go into the woods to hunt, and the deer come to the house to hang out 😕. Just a fawn, but thought it was funny. Maybe they're hunting me....😨

Not a bad first day. Saw two bucks and three doe. Passed a small 8 point tonight at 22 yards. 

I hope everyone that had the opportunity to hunt enjoyed their day. It was a beautiful day to be outdoors. I worked today.

👍Good luck guys, enjoy your hunt.

Crappie_Slayer... this is October, I'd keep an eye over my shoulder. 🎃

Hope everyone had a good first day of bow season . If ya didn’t fill your tag hope at least ya enjoyed the day . Trying to get used to this no hunting anymore I know I will miss it but hey at 69 it was time. I gave my stands and crossbow to my grandson so he can have more areas to hunt . Gave the camera , ranger finder and all that good stuff . He hit it hard today in woods at 5:45 AM , saw a spike and 4pt by 7:30 and some doe he was pumped just being out. Told him to take your time and shot straight but also told him I only have 2 packages of burger left in my freezer .... lol

Get-er done guys .... GOOD LUCK !!

At 73 gave away my tree stands a year or two back so as not to be tempted.
Got real unsteady up there last time soooo it was the last time.
This year didnt even buy archery tags--
Miss it after over 50 years of bow hunting.

30 minutes after I walked down
