Another real nice deer, your friend and Rodsmith sure put down some nice deer. I took a small, but very nice symmetrical 6 a little before 7am in Sterling. A SINGLE shot from the 35 Whelen left him with only a few choices...steaks, cutlets, suasage...etc...

I did hear the 8 shot character...I usually try to get away from it all on the opener, and this year was no different. I leave very early and get in where I want ot be real early...also, there is not enough orange in the world for me during this time of year...

Interesting story, I saw my second set of fighting bucks that morning. Mine and a smaller one. The smaller one was really taken my guy to town, maybe it was because I had shot him about an hour earlier. I was with my father and brother and decided I would wait a while before going to dress him. The smaller buck came in, walked right up to him and started sparring...he gave up after a while thinking he was the man...very cool show...
