A Bad Opener!

bowtechlove · 09-13-2008, 10:39 AM

Today was the opener for the Wisconsin bow season, and man was it terrible! My buddy went out early this morning, while it was raining, he had a longer drive then me, but me, I thought it out a little.
I went to the stand and it was well before daylight, and what do ya know, i no more then sit down and it started pouring!
I can handle being a little wet, and getting soaked throughout the day...but not all at once, it gets very uncomfortable.
I came in early, but there is always this evening, and the season is very young yet.

And by the way, my buddy still hasnt made it back yet, so hopefully he gots some good news!

Same sort of deal here in central Wisco. It was foggy and didn't really get light until maybe 6:30. Had a decent buck walk in to me from a cornfield around 8:30 (after I'd been soaked)-- nice but not a shooter. Saw a couple of does after that, then I came in. I'mhoping the weather is going to straighten up a little bit by sunday evening, they should be on the move if itrainstil then!

It's raining here and since I have nothing to hunt yet, I'm trying to decide if I want to go to the football game in the rain[&o]

Nothing worse than trying to follow a blood trail in the rain, except getting soaked and not seeing anything...

From what I've seen, it's not going to get much better until Monday, which sucks. Looks like next weekend will be warm... stay tuned...
