Oct 1st for me, last year the 8 I shot walk 5 yds from me opening day. The farmer we rent to ask to plant wheat, we should sure, 7:30AM next morning(opening day) he is planting the field right next to me. I decide to hunt until noon that morning. He finshed about 10:00AM and at 10:30AM the buck came sneeking up the river bank. I was watching a squirrel, deer nose was about 2'' of the ground. I just got my bow back and my pin on the top of his back. He walk off, I got him 16 days later, I was not watchinga squirrel, LOL
