Finally got out yesterday afternoon. Was set up early, 2:45pm hoping the deer would move early after the rain. Hunted the Public Ground. I had the woods to myself. I guess everyone else was smarter than I, because I saw nothing until walking out.

Unless its cool enough to let a deer lay out overnight, I quit at sunset. Well walking back to the truck I bumped right into a buck. Had 2 does behind him. It was legal shooting time still but even if I did see him before I rounded the bend, 1) He wasnt a quality buck 2) he was on the Refuge side of the path. He was only 15yds from me when I saw him. They all bounded into the bean field on the Refuge side of the property. The second day of the season and they are already smart.

Going to the private field tomorrow in the AM. Should be nice weather!

Come on DE guys, post them hunts up here!
