My goodness it felt good to be deer hunting again! I've been at this for 33 years it just keeps getting better and better. Like a kid at Christmas all over again! I guess I'll never understand folks that "loose the urge",or have "no desire to hunt this year"....not me!

Great morning(saw three small bucks), but a bit on the windy side. Great morning to try out my new Sitka Stratus gear. Cut the wind like a sharp knife just like it's supposed to...another winner for Sitka!!

Every one of these trees had scars from being rubbed at least one time in prior years. A couple had two years worth of scars and a new rub on them!  Very impressive!!

Looks very promiceing Guru! I love those spots that hold rubs year after year.

Get on him bro!!

Nice looking spot!! keep us posted!

Great photos. Beautiful hunting spot. Awesome rubs on the trees.

Looks like the markings of a dandy buck.

Nice spot!

At lease hang a camera in there.. Them some serious rubs for sure.

What a beautiful spot!

i love opening day as well,very windy here in western n.y. also.hunted on the ground,saw a few deer but, no shots,it's good to be out there again.

You definitely have a stud in the area.

Looks like that buck is pissed at the trees in your woods.Good luck hope you get him  :D

Curt,Snufferize that buck for picking on those trees.
Good luck

Nice rubs!  I was out this past week as well. It seems to me there were quite a few fresh rubs that have appeared in the last week or so.

So far no shots, so no pictures to show. Neighbor's dogs and erratic winds to blame. At least thats my story.

 I want to see a pic of the fellow that caused all that damage.

Looks like you just need to spend some time at that spot and you'll have him..No it never does get old..Good luck..

The stuff that dreams are made of , best of luck to you Curt !

Man I can't wait to see the maker of those rubs Guru...Looks like a nice one left those...
