Default DE Archery Season Opener

OK Guys. We' re just 9 hours away. I' m hoping that the rain will just hold off until noon or so, so we can get the morning hunt in. The weather maps look good for now. Keeping the fingers crossed.

Report all events here! Cant wait to hear how everyone does. [:-]

For all venturing out tomorrow, good luck, god bless, and be safe!

Got in the stand around 5:15. Sat till 9:00 and seen nothing, zilch, notta It did feel GREAT just to be out there again. Going back to the same stand this afternoon, if the rain holds off, hopefully with better results. Hope you all did better than me

The weather man blew the wind forecast again. When I left they were calling for E - SE Variable. It kicked up SW right before day light. 3 deer were coming right to my stand and winded me at 50 yds out. [:' (] Get them next time I guess.

Drove by the Public place I' ve been scouting. At 9am just 1 truck. Im thinking maybe it didnt get pounded too bad. Went and checked out the Tag Board and 8 guys hunted in there this morning! Glad I didnt try to slug it out with that crowd. Funny, I' ve been down there every weekend since 8/1 and have never seen anyone else scouting or found evidence of others (foot prints, etc) the whole month, but today 8 - 9 guys out there. I wonder if people do any leg work before hand or just wander out opening day hoping for the best? There were no deer harvested posted to the board. [X(]

Hope you all did better than I. Hope to hit it again this week sometime if the weather permits.

Good Hunting to all.

Duckmaster What color is your pickup, I think you told me last year it is a GMC, a green one with a cap followed by a burgundy Suburban with PA tags passed me this afternoon and I was thinking it was you and your dad. Those vehicles were going North on Rt 9 after leaving the State ground at Flemings Landing sometime around 2;30 was that you?

Nope Ron. Wasn' t me. My GMC is Black. I didnt hunt the public land at all today. My truck was pulled into the weeds off Rt 6 in the morning at the leased farm. We were done at 9am. Didnt get out in the evening.
