Judging by the first light rifle shots i heard this morning, I'd say some guys have their dates wrong Not surprised, I saw some people on Facebook convinced today was opening day of firearm. They claimed “it’s always the second Saturday of the month” others were correcting them but, you know some people think that’s the case. How hard is it to spend 15 minutes reading the regs every year prior to season?

Well I got awesome blood and here's what's left of my bolt. I'd say I got great penetration and I believe it was in the boiler room

I'm huddled up against a dead fall on a side of a hill with a ditch line to my right and a scrape/rub line to my left. Got a NE wind at 5 mph with the sun coming over the tallest hill to my right. So far, squirrels and crows are all I've seen I retract that last statement, I just a buck. Not sure how big, but he got to 15 yards and I drilled him Great! Looking forward too the pictures and story!

That small buck (6-pointer possibly) wandered around for a while east of me, finally cut the does' track and bird-dogged his way past me on their trail.

The landowner or a family member of his just made a large loop through the pasture below and behind me in a side-by-side and I noticed a doe running around in a smaller pasture. Watching her through my rangefinder, I happened to see what appeared to be a cowhorn spike buck watching the ATV from cover near the pond.

Wind just switched from west to southeast. Didn’t waste any time getting out as that wind would blow out my whole property from that stand. Going home to grab a bite to eat, then will be in my stand on the very west side of the property hopefully around noon. Saw a lot of deer this morning.

Bummer me sitting here at the breakfast table with all this activity going on.. giving it a couple days snd will try to get out Monday. Meanwhile Woodmaster is up there hunting. He has seen - 5 does & 3 lil bucks. 2 cruising & 1 chasing a doe Hopefully one of the big boys wil cruise by. I'm out of the pursuit today as well Woody. Thursday night I had another episode, heart rate and blood pressure were higher than Tuesday nights event. I decided to push through and hunt yesterday. I gotta admit, just the walk alone to the ridge wore me out and I was concerned about trying to get anything out of there. I was woke up briefly by a little arrhythmia about 2:30 this morning but, it was brief. I decided I better at least take the morning off and see if I can recoup some energy. Good luck everyone! Hunt safe and God bless!

Hunt safe and God bless! I agree, have that checked out. It sounds like what my mom had, a heart arithmia (sp?). There’s a process called an ablasion (sp?) that was relatively simple and seemed to fix it. She had rapid heart rate and high blood pressure too when it would happen, then it would go away. Couple trips to the ER. No issues since the ablasion.

Bad part about hunting with my daughter is when nature calls. Back at the truck eating and fixing to head to the bathroom. Did quite a wide loop in our unit and didn't find an acorn one. Very little deer sign

Changed spots. Walked into hayfield saw a doe about 80 yards up wind. I skirted some brush and got to see 2 baskets hot on her trail. Slobbering and grunting. Here is the 2nd one
