First shot heard at 622, just got my son tetherd in and bang...crazy people. Bumped 1 buck and 2 doe walking in. Tracks everywhere. Goodluck!

Goodmorning and goodluck everyone. Got my son up, first time for him going out with me on opening morning. My father and brother will be in the woods today too. Hope we get some action in our woods.

Live from the kitchen window again. 3 bucks and a doe. 1 was a ok lookin 2.5 yr old 8.

If it keeps a elf warm in the north pole its good enough for me! Lol

NAP killzone

Getting pretty excited...

2 more doe in the field now. This is a good spot...

Deer are moving here, atleast in my field. Which is the view from the kitchen table. At 415 3 doe came out feeding but looking back into the woods. They bounded off and 2 small bucks came out and are now feeding.

When you spot a deer that you want to shoot start thinking distance and were you need to hold. Paying attention to those things should keep you calm. The shakes come after the shot.

I have a buck im after, but i can wait all season and not see him which is fine. Ill take a doe at some point during gun. Really hoping my brother in law gets something big.

Dont know about saturday. Maybe after everything calms down he will get hungry for some soy beans. Ill be waiting for him

Saw him once in my field at night about 2 weeks ago. Looks like hes staying in the area. Hope to see him this weekend.

Ill be carrying a smith 586 .357. Either close shots or finishing shot.

Scary black rifle in 6.5 grendel shooting 100gr nosler ballistic tip handloads.

Happy 244th birthday!

Ill second the natural gear snow camo. I use it yote hunting and have stayed warm during some incredibly cold nights.

Love it. I skin them then try to cut up the meat into decent sized chunks. Then dip in egg, then flour with salt, pepper,onion powder, and garlic powder. Then fry till golden brown. Little franks on them. Yummm

Happy Birthday

No monsters visiting but it is a popular spot.

Some more cool pics

Just getting caught up on this thread. Congratulations to all that have connected this weekend. Gotta love this cold weather.

Went out last night, started in Bennington. Snow on the ground and lots of slush/rain coming down while calling. So much so that it made our lights almost useless, could not see well. So we packed up and went to a property that i shot a fox at last week. Wind was perfect for thos field, a yote would have to expose itself coming for the call. As we walked into the field we had a doe and 2 fawns watching us that eventually walked away. On the downwind side of the field, behind where the deer were standing i caught eyes then the body of a yote goin away. Signaled my buddy who started kitten cries on the foxpro. I slowly moved my way to a rise were the yote took off from that allows me to see down the far side of the field. I caught eyes half way down the field and they started my way. Within 5 seconds the yote popped out on a rise infront of me 100 yards away. Last steps that yote took in its short life. After the shot the eyes at the back of the field stuck around but wouldnt leave the tree line. My buddy who has more experience than i at this game thought we should leave and hit another field around the corner. I thought we should stay and just be silent for 10 min or so and start calling again. But hes the "pro", so we went to the other field. Nothing. Not a peep in that field. So we head back to the field with the yote hangin around. 100 yards before the driveway a yote crosses the road infront of me and is goin away from where we r heading. Damn...we set back up in the field and about 10 minutes in running some female yote howls we get a howl back. Unfortunately it never came in. Happy to get the first of the year in. Small female btw.

Happy Birthday

So sorry to hear TF.

Good variety of visitors.
