Good luck everyone! Hopefully this cold front will help all you guys out this morning. I'll be at work wishing I wasn't.

Lucked out on this doe opening morn, in Shawnee. Had 4 different little spikes, 4's, etc. come in and feed on the reds and white oaks didn't want to shoot them and never did see a doe till I got down and was getting my stuff together and she came trotting in to the acorns. I kneeled down and when she got what turned out to be 20 steps and behind a big oak I drew on her and shot as she came out. Went about 60yds. with good blood. Simmons Interceptor hit heart and then the off lower shoulder leg joint. Quinn Stallion 48lbs.
I had a trail cam at the spot I'd put up less than 2wks ago and when I got home and looked at the card it had 420pics. About 5 different bucks, but no big ones. Two are about 110" and the rest all skippers. Lots of different doe and yrlings.
There's about a 100acre standing corn field about 250yds from this spot..but the acorns are really hitting the ground and they are tearing them up all around this area.
