NC opener?

[J-dog]

Anyone do any good? I wish it would have been turkey season I woulda been set! I dont think I could spell the word "deer" though yesterday. Full moon and all, but being wrapped up with turkeys gave me a lesson in stillness! fun to listen to their calls.

Just wondering if anyone did any good.

I hunted the morning but got busted on the way in near my stand.The roads were lined with deer in the dark and that never is a good sign for a morning hunt.I sit out the afternoon and will wait for the little break in heat mid week before going back.

I went to check my game camera and didn't even take my bow because it was so danged hot.  Even moving along slowly in the shaded canopy of trees, I was absolutely soaked from the humidity.  Came home and shot my bow in the back yard and enjoyed myself.
I think all the deer were up the road at the pool hall drinking beer....

The full moon and the heat are going to slow things down for a while, it seems. A couple of weeks from now things might be much better with less moon light and maybe some cooler weather.

Congrats Mr. Magoo!!!

I had 7 deer all around me for about 30 minutes, I waited as much as I could on a decent buck, but he never showed up. I finally dropped the string on a good doe, and after a 45 yard recovery I had my first meat of the season. I don't know how to post pictures, but she looked a lot like Mr. Magoo's doe. I will go hunting again tomorrow. Mystical

Think I will wait till thursday and pull a before work morning hunt. Nice job Magoo, and Mystical.

Lets keep the reports coming!

Anyone going to pungo next weekend? Think I will go there Saturday, if station doesn't get me.

Congrats Mystical.  If you shoot a Robertson Mystical and drive a Frontier, I may have spoken to you once.

[Mystical]

Thanks Magoo, I do shoot a Robertson Mystical but drive a golden single cab small 4WD Toyota Tacoma. Maybe we've met at a shoot or at a Bar.    Mystical

Jumped 3 or 4 on the road into my property.  All I could see was flags high tailing it outta there.  Guess those were the sentries cause I didn't see another one all morning.  With the full moon I figured it wasn't going to be an action packed morning but seeing as how it was opening day I had to go.  Congrads Mr.Magoo and Mystical on your does!!!

Good job guys ! I hunted good buck sign but all I got was soaked by the  heat and I beleive every mosquito in N.C. bit me . Went back in to the land today to checks my Dads cows for him and saw two very nice new buck rubs right where I walk into my stand . The buck must have done them late last night or early this morning . We'll get him next time out !

I haven't seen a single rub in my area (Wilson) yet.

Just curious Mystical and Magoo - are y'all hunting over corn?

[fxe]

Congrats Mr.Magoo and Mystical!
Saw 3 sat. morning.Got to about 30 yards and let a tree rat tell the world where I was.

[Widowbender]

Haven't made it out yet...There's a bunch of white oak acorns on the ground where I hunt...maybe I can squeeze in a hunt before the week  is over...Congrats Mystical and Magoo...Nothing like fresh backstraps!!!

I havent made it out yet.  If everything goes good tommorrow afternoon will be my 1st hunt.  I've seen couple nice rubs.  This is my 1st go at it w/ trad gear.  My shot is limited to 20yrd and under.  Wish me luck!

[Woodduck]

Congratulations you two.

Hunting a new area this year and not seeing much sign.
Be glad for a cool front, like everyone else.  

[SuperK]

I saw one small doe this PM but she was out of range.  As hot as it was I would've been scared to shoot her. She might have spoiled before I got the hide off her!  Hey Woodduck...glad to hear you still around!  I thought you might have traded your bows for a surfboard!  HaHa!

I had a good hunt Sat. I saw 2 does and 2 bucks about 7:00am. I was hunting from my ground blind and they were about 10yards away. I am saving this spot for the rut so I didn't drop the string. In the afternoon I hunted from a tree. I had 2 does come in but didn't shoot. I also saw a hawk catch a squirrel and the biggest ground hog I have ever seen.

[Mr.Magoo]

Tom - I only hunt the game lands so no corn.
