Congrats Mark!  :notworthy:  

I have never taken an opening day deer. 2nd day, 3rd day, etc. but never the 1st. Maybe I should sleep in this year?  :laughing:

I had one at 10 yards but couldn't get the camera and bow on her at the same time. I'll give it another go in the morning.

Awesome Jeff, nice buck.

I got my first trad deer with a Browning Wasp 2 years ago, and like you, give the guys and gals on this site all the credit for their great advice.  

See if you can scrounge up a glove for your bud York.  He had a package delivered today.  
:bigsmyl:  

Congrats!!

Fanstastic stuff Jeff, congrats Brother! Nice skinhead Mark.

Well I have yet to be able to get out. I couldn't go Saturday morning due to my daughters field hockey game. Was planning on going after that but there was a lot of rain here from the hurricane. I don't do rain anymore. Planning on going out today after church if there isn't anymore rain.

Long 4-1/2 month season so I'll get out there soon enough. Best of luck to all my Kentucky Brothers.

A big congrats to Mark and Jeff. Have "outlaws " visiting this weekend, no hunting for me.They get upset when you butcher a deer in the kitchen with a housefull of citified yankees. Plan on hitting the woods wed/thur.

Way to go Mark & Jeff!!

I've still got a long 4 week wait til our opener.

Post by: perry f. on September 02, 2012, 11:46:00 AM
Randy, the only family that owns any hunting land doesnt allow bow hunting. He has had bad experiences with bow hunters in the past. I could probably firearm hunt there but most of his immediate family and him hunt on it. I need to check out the public ground i guess

No luck yesterday and it looks like the rain will be here today. I will try again tomorrow.  

Saw a few on the way in but nothing came under my stand.  And it was hot!!!!

I love seeing Kentucky deer it makes me get out there, but with all this rain and truck down it makes hard. I dont think my wife would want me to take her car to my Uncles farm where I will need my 4x4 to get there in this rain. I'm glad season last until the middle of January.
