Title: Excellent opener!
Post by: Bob B. on September 17, 2011, 09:13:00 PM
Well, I wish I can say I filled a tag today, but no matter, what a great day!  I had a nice buck working my way at 6:30 am and then he just eased his way munching acorns away from me.  Latter in late afternoon, I was blessed with a first year horn and young doe eating acorns vigorously for 20 minutes right in front of me.  I watched them, I practiced getting to full draw undetected they moved on and investigated a scrape.  It was not until the buck stood for a bit at 5 yards form me that he grew nervous and he ambled off taking the doe with him.  2 hours later a lost fawn was balling to momma and she answered with subltle grunts.  I never saw them, but listening was awesome.  So, as the last of the shooting light fadded away, I snuck out of the timber and returned home.  What an awesome opening day!

Bob.

Bob I'm glad you enjoyed your hunt.

A successful hunt doesn't always include the letting of blood.

God bless,Mudd
