RE: La. Squirrel Opener
I still haven't gone squirrel yet, however I did go bowhunting for the first time on the 6th and it was amazing. I saw a total of six deer and cleanly missed a doe. I have never been so close to deer before. I was so nervous when I had my oppurtinity to take my first deer with a bow. I watched her and a (fading) spotted fawn for about 15 minutes and finally she gave me a perfect shot. She was about 20 yards away and broadside. I was shaking so bad that my knees and elbows were shaking tremendously. I started to pull my bow back and she looked at me, so I had to pause. Then she put her head down and I tried to finish my draw, she looked at me again, so I stopped. Then she put her head down again and I got fully drawn back and missed. I was so nervous and excited. It was the best deer hunting trip ever. I am fairly new to deer hunting, I have only kiled two with a rifle. I am hooked forever on deer hunting in October.
