Well it is opening morning and 45 degrees out at my house and I am stuck at work. Anybody else get out and see one?

I can tell you that I under dressed...!!!  lol

I saw one doe but not before she saw me.

It was about 8:15 approximately I think because I had just checked my watch about 10 minutes earlier to make a mental note as to when the wind had made a strong shift out of the east at 8:05.

All morning I was being reminded that wearing "Bug Skinz" is almost like wearing an air conditioner..lol When the wind picked up I felt as if all of my extremities were about to freeze so I did a slow stand up and stretch. As I started to turn I saw standing less than 50 yds front me a mature, sleek, fat doe who had me pegged since the one step I had taken left me with nothing behind me to break up my outline.

She didn't run off...yet anyway..lol

I decided that I would remain still until it looked safe to slowly get back into my Pacseat chair.  I finally made it down to one knee, grabbed my bow, apparently making more movement that she could take..lol She turned and walked back the direction she came from.

I relaxed a bit and decided I need to make a change so if I had to stand up again I wouldn't have to take a step that would put me in the open without any back drop.

In the process of doing this(thinking she had left the country) I got nailed by her again as she had started to come back...lol

It is called hunting and I am supposed to be better at it than I was this morning.

All rookie like mistakes.

Oh well, it is just opening morning....lol

You can see by my attire that I am trying to meet Nate and a couple of others challenge of doing it as old school as I know how.

MUDD, here's a free tip that is sure to help you out. As we bowhunters get older we need to hide behind wider trees.  :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:

Saw 8 doe passed up two of them. Saw the first turkey I have ever seen anywhere remotely close to Carrol county. Stalked 3 ft from a sleeping fox that had real bad mange. And shot a black ferrol cat that has been harrasing the farm owners dogs, wanted to see the damage a deadhead would do its head    :archer2:

Yea, on the NE wind.  Thats a once or twice a year event....

I was doing some scouting and it really made me stop and think about how I was walking the property....  

We still have some time to go....
