I'm going to give it a whirl Saturday morning myself, opening day, just to get out and say I did it!  It'd sure be great to get a nice deer on opening day!

I passed this buck up last year and now he looks even better this year. I'm sure his neck and body are much more bulky now. Mike

Beauty there Mike. Good luck on him!

well, i was heading out and my dad needed me, so my opener be later, nephew got a doe where i told him where to sit

Lucked out on this doe opening morn, in Shawnee. Had 4 different little spikes,  4's, etc. come in and feed on the reds and white oaks didn't want to shoot them and never did see a doe till I got down and was getting my stuff together and she came trotting in to the acorns. I kneeled down and when she got what turned out to be 20 steps and behind a big oak I drew on her and shot as she came out. Went about 60yds. with good blood. Simmons Interceptor hit heart and then the off lower shoulder leg joint. Quinn Stallion 48lbs.

I had a trail cam at the spot I'd put up less than 2wks ago and when I got home and looked at the card it had 420pics. About 5 different bucks, but no big ones. Two are about 110" and the rest all skippers.
Lots of different doe and yrlings.

There's about a 100acre standing corn field about 250yds from this spot..but the acorns are really hitting the ground and they are tearing them up all around this area.

I had to work yesterday morning but got out in the pm.  I missed a turkey!  Shot over her head about 2"
Had 2 barred owls land beneath me.  A good sit.

Got out yesterday and today.  Yesterday was passes, some does, one 150 class 10, too far,  and some wanna be bucks.  Today was does.  I was lazy and did not feel like cut, gut and drag....

We'll see what next week brings...

Well done, Hoyt! Congrats and good luck to all.
