I'm going to give it a whirl Saturday morning myself, opening day, just to get out and say I did it! It'd sure be great to get a nice deer on opening day!

I passed this buck up last year and now he looks even better this year. I'm sure his neck and body are much more bulky now. Mike

well, i was heading out and my dad needed me, so my opener be later, nephew got a doe where i told him where to sit

Hoyt · « **Reply #36 on:** October 02, 2011, 05:52:00 PM »

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.

I had to work yesterday morning but got out in the pm. I missed a turkey! Shot over her head about 2"
Had 2 barred owls land beneath me. A good sit.

Got out yesterday and today. Yesterday was passes, some does, one 150 class 10, too far, and some wanna be bucks. Today was does. I was lazy and did not feel like cut, gut and drag....

We'll see what next week brings...
