Biz from a TREESTAND! Will update journal later, but I took over the stand from TCIII at 905am and before I could barely sit down I saw a buck and missed.

Took my 10 year old son out this morning for his first opening day ( legal disclaimer he did not shoot or have a gun).  Shot this guy around 745, 10 pointer with a huge g2, the other side g2 was snapped off but is still a legal point.  Will probably get home mounted due to the hunting memory more than anything.  My son is the one who saw him and said big buck coming.  Heart shot and he went about 100 and he watched him pile up.

Well we had a shot on a real nice 8pt.  Clean miss.  F2F participant is regrouping.   Buck fever I think.

He's got the right idea! Just remember, wasn't it you who said there are no deer in Bristol anyway? lol

I drive 45 minutes to my property in 4H/R and have two DMP's and at 7:15 am this morning my wife sends me a couple Pic's  from where we live in 4B from the back porch ..... this Buck was just sniffing the ground and walked less than 10 feet from my wife and didn't notice her ! What are the chances ?

His 6.5 is a grendel, not a creedmoor.

Hoyle’s law says the chances are always good that it happens on opening day....

Both 6.5s dont really matter the creedmore just shoots a little faster bullet

These bucks hanging out together last week really have me looking forward to season.  Not at my house, but could get hunting permission across the street probably.

I’ve been told by chef your very close to the camp I belong to in white road we don’t see much a lot prob due to no food source but working on that

Out of likes but keep it comin!!!! Still upset the neighbors crossed the property line without telling us to track a fawn they blasted the leg off of.. Uncalled for especially at 830am on opening day!

Well conclusion to my crazy live from the woods story. I finally see the guy that shot buck this morning in the field around 9:00. I went over to talk him and also see what deer he shot. The guy  had kill another buck and it was dead in the field. The reason he didn’t look for first buck he shot in the morning was because he heard me shoot and figured I had put  the buck down. The first buck the guy shot in the leg and on top hind leg. The two shot he took didn’t kill deer , and when I saw the buck still crawling and I put one shot in the vitals. Guy was a nice hunter , the guy even help me drag my buck to his truck loaded into his truck and he even drop my buck over my house. Glad to say we both got bucks opening. To God be the glory .

Great buck! Congrats!! That boy is a trooper for sticking it out as cold as it was this morning!!

It sucks that my phone carrier from Alaska is so bad here. I can't even call or text from my stand to the house just down the hill from me while I'm up there. I can't read this site or post from my stand so I need to get caught up when I get back to the house. 

I came off my stand at 10:45 to check in at the house so my wife didn't get worrying. Plus, my feet froze so badly with these Alaska boots against the metal of the stand, when I got to the house and checked my toes, not only were they painful but 2 then felt numb as they warmed and stayed white colored. Nervous! 

First shot heard was at 6:15 (single) followed by 3 more quick shots one minute later, 6:16. Bunch of nuts!

Saw one button buck at 6:45 or so, about 20 yards, and watched him quietly walk through. Then at 7:30 3 does followed by a steady stream of more does that I stopped counting because they were trotting around in the bushes and I couldn't keep track. Then in the same group one definite buck chasing a doe in big circles until they went down into an orchard. 

Just before going down I had three nice size does walking single file straight to me until about about 20 yards. The lead doe caught my scent, stopped, and looked directly up into my stand. I didn't make I contact and she stayed for a couple minutes before turning broadside and then  stiff leg walked  back where they came from. Her partners got the message and turned and walked away as she took up their lead. 

Back at the house worrying over my toes, and thanks to my wonderful Mr.s I'm eating the delicious sausage gravy over toast she made me as a reward for coming to check in.

First deer taken off the new property.  Double lung and severed the windpipe. Dropped right where it was standing. Taking my son out tonight to see if we can punch a doe tag.

WeWell caught up with the neighbors who tracked the doe they shot all the way to me. They said they didn't even hear my shot. Neighbor hit the leg/shoulder ( must have been a straight on shot because there was no penetration on her. Luckily they didn't ask who's deer it should be, the brother shot 7 times this am, he said he was using the wrong cross hairs (yikes). Doe for me
