Well it was opening day. I gotta be honest...this was the worst year for me in a long time. I wasn't even close to being ready. I have just been soooo busy with all my other responsibilities, it stinks. Haven't gotten all my stands up. Haven't shot nearly as much as I wish I had. I organized my stuff today at 2pm.

My initial plan was to hunt morning and evening here where I live. My wife even planned to have the kids gone all day, so there was no distractions. (good wife!)Friday my son got sick, and my plans went down the tube. I was here this morning with him, which was ok. We watched the deer out front for a couple hours. LOL, typical. It was a beautiful morning though...in the 40's this morning. I was really wanting to be out there, but honestly I have been so overwhelmed lately, it was almost a relief I had to stay in. Doesn't that suck? Normally I have all my ducks in a row, an am ready WAY before the season starts, itching to go. Just didn't happen this year.

My son was feeling better this afternoon, so I did manage to get outfor the last 2 hrs. Got all my stuff together this afternoon, and headed out. 5 minutes after I got in the tree, I hear something crunching the potato chip leaves(it's very dry here...no rain in over a month). Her he comes. A forkhorn LOL. He piddled around eating acorns for about 20 minutes, then walked right in one of my shooting lanes and stopped broadside. I wish I could say I helped out the team, but nope. Way too small. I saw another doe a little later, and that was it.

I will try again next weekend.I only have the morning Sat to hunt, so wish me luck! I am heading to WV the following weekend for sure. Hopefully someone will get some bone and get us on the board! Good luck guys
