RE: VA bow season opener (rain rain rain rain rain.....)
I waited until later in the day to go out because of the gusty wind and ever present chance of rain. I got my climber in place and everything set up just before noon. Then it started drizzling which turned into a light rain, but I stayed relatively dry under the cover of the pine tree I was in. To make a predictable story short;the only deer I saw was a doe at 6:25 PM. She was acting real spooked by the sight of my SUV parked about 10 yards from the edge of my small food plot. She walked into the food plot took a few bites, kept looking at my SUV and acting real fidgety. The whole time my bow is stil hanging on the limb. I was waiting for her to face away from me and I was going to grab the bow and draw. I never got the chance, as this deer just didn't hang around. Lesson learned: Park further away next time.
I'll give it another chance on Monday.
