They've been moving all day today. Sunrise to now I've heard shooting. Fun about to start. One mile drag thru brambles , creek and swamp. Positive note is my back is already out so don't have to worry about that.

And cold beer at the car. Bonus !

Thanks pop. No sooner did I put tag away and a hot doe came in behind me. This six right on her tail. Wanted her but she got nervous and scooted. Not a great rack but nice sized buck. Muzzleloader at 25 yards. He went 10 Going to field dress him and hunt does. Lots of shooting going on and splendid day.

Opening morning 7 pointer, located in 9P. Shot with Remington .243 pump, 10 a.m harvest

This is my second year hunting this creek bottom. Last year I seen 23 deer opening day, I am about 1/2 mile in the woods from two roads. I believe a lot of hunters were pushing deer right to me, I had no shots last year, it was to thick to shoot on the other side of the creek.

This summer I made some nice clearings and hung up a stand, hoping I would have similar movement like last year. I only seen 4 deer this year, but this 7 pointer did exactly what I planned for. After slowly watching this buck take one slow step at a time for about 15 minutes, he finally gave me a 60 yard shot with about a 6 " opening to shoot. I could see another hunter about 100 yards down the creek, so I had to make a perfect shot. I hit him good and he ran about 10 feet. This is a respectable 2 1/2 year old where I hunt on state land , out of 7 guys I was the only one who seen a buck opening weekend.
