Oh, and I don't vote idiot. I vote a combination of donkey + hole.

Throw some dog poop on his seat, I've done this in the past.... Can't imagine a more unbearable opening day ! Nothing gets me more fired up than blaze Orange on my property. Either way, these situations get very interesting once guys get guns in their hands. I wish u the best though and be safe. Call the DEC from your stand, maybe they will bump a monster your way

I don't think ur alone.....

I'd rather talk about politics and religion. QDM is like world peace, we all " want " it but it will never happen. To each his/her own. My dmp's are my meat in the freezer, my buck tags are my official license to watch deer, and I can tell you IMO, I have seen the coolest things and have gotten my moneys worth by passing on youngins and just being out there. I definitely have a new found respect for wildlife and that's all due to my own standards. I haven't got a buck in 4 years ! I'd be upset if i tagged out first day. No arguments here tho, everybody is entitled to the opinion.

I've used it all with great results, active scrape, trails end number 607 ( i think ), and golden E gel and regular. I can say it Def gets their attention and i personally haven't seen anything spook, not even a doe. Just ask pretty lil Tiffany.... " It's the golden standard "

So far nothin but a family of coons all stacked up on each other in the crotch of an ash @ 25yrds..... I dared them to stay till quittin time.... It's too quiet to start flingin arrows at rodents. Other than the coons, nothin moving but this is my kinda day. G'luck all

I bought the Remington version, JUNK ! ended up making myself look like a fool trying to show off my CSI style purchase. Did nothing. Ended up using the mag light ! I'm personally a fan of led flashlights, super bright and last forever. Got a pocket style, bigger style and clip on the hat style.... No compass for me, I'm in familiar woods, always.

Local pro shop swears by it, guess It's from a deer farm upstate. I got the doe n heat and intend on making a nice long drag today around the stand. This is my first experience with anything frozen. Smells like pee but I'm no ruttin buck... Anybody use it ? Success ?

Great buck ! Looks like a 2 blade rage entry hole....

am I alone in the woods this am ? First day all season I haven't seen a fresh post ! Well, for all those at work, I'll be in the woods all day in your honor, testing my new antler ice doe n heat hopefully stickin and stackin !

6mm REM, smaller caliber but ridiculously fast and flat, tac driving accuracy at any range and has a habit of doing nasty things on impact. But It's tradition that the 870 aka the " thunder stick " goes out opening day CAN'T WAIT !

Regardless, u can't get em while ur sleeping ! I also see a lot of activity from the 8-12 window so I can't argue with ur theory.

Nothing like back yard bucks, especially that guy ! He is awesome, and will look sweet on ur wall ! Congrats

I roll with the rattle n grunt or rattle n snort wheeze and I always incorporate some branches braking and leaves crunching

7 different flat heads... No boys.... What's da deal ladies, get hot already ! Very windy today but bearable temps mean I'll be in the tree all day... Saw my shooter last night on my walk in, hoping he's a little earlier tonight. G'luck all

Anyone else dealing with this wind ?! Haven't seen a thing.... Coffee break is coming sooner than normal.

Stupid alarm clock ! Never went off ! I'm late !suns up and rut is on.... Wth ! I'm gonna kill SOMETHING today. Maybe I'll post pics and story of the damage done to a clock with a 2 blade rage.... Pooping then running to the stand

I am no pro at all but especially when looking a other peoples photos, I don't bother with the horns, I stick to body shape, arch in the back, color and the shape/ length/color of the head and sag in the brisket. I think 2.5-3.5 is impossible on the hoof but .5-1.5 and 4.5 and up is a tad bit easier. All I know is if a 160" 2.5 comes out, I'm shootin !

Thankfully I'm on the upwind side of pat... ! Finally had 2 of the big boys show themselves. Chasing a couple doe bout 100yrds away. Both are mature and need to be stuck.... I'm staying in the stand, and don't care if I crap my kilt ! G'luck all

Lots of activity this am in 9h, one nice 2.5 8 crusin n gruntin, let him pass, saw more girls than all season today... With this snow and cold, It's on ! Hopefully Gonna smack one tonight ! Hey pat rockets, where bouts in 9h are ya ?

Ugh, too many ! Prob a few dozen, mainly during bow. 2 years ago I threw some lead from the 12ga at one I walked up on while tracking a doe... Never hit him, but he knew I was out to kill so he was haulin. Prob a 150, last year alone I saw 4 different 140-150 during bow.

I got a 120# doe this year with the spotlight / rifle... Nuisance permit of course ( still felt wrong but all legal ) and I can tell you the eyes looked normal. She had a little bald spot on her head which we looked at closely and nothing about her eyes were odd. That would be my only experience night hunting

I've bagged 3 over 100, my biggest to date was a 137 3/4 out of franklinville, the other 2 were prob around 120. Def have a few 140-150 running around my current 9h hunting turf just hoping for a shot at one this year.... As we all know they don't get that big by being dumb, and I'm getting aggressive this year so we shall see if that works
