Opening day in Alabama, so I decided to head to the woods. I have a C4 pinch that has been acting up recently, I can barely hold a cup of coffee in my left hand and I have very little strength in my left shoulder. I was carrying an old Grizzly and some wood Bear arrows. It was a nice low 40's morning, I decided to try some Corps of Engineer land on the Alabama River. There are usually lots of hogs, also. As soon as I got out of the truck and had moved about twenty steps into the woods I walked up on a nice 6 point. I was not able to get an arrow out before he moved out of my rangs. I moved on to a favorite spot and sat until 10 or so, I wandered around some looking for pigs with no luck. I did try several stalks on squirrels, I got close enough for a shot on two but decided I didn't want to carry a bloody squirrel to my next stand. I sat there until after noon, had a doe with a technially legal fawn, (no spots) but decided to pass. Wandered on back to the truck about 3 or so, the dew had dried up so the leaves were very crunchy, couldn't get close enough for a shot on a squirrel on the way out. It would have been better if I could have connected with that buck, but all in all, it was a great day to be in the woods. Bill
