Good luck G2, MDManic and everyone else. And again, dang Kelly that is a bruiser.

Bowhunted this weekend during gun opener. I saw 8 does within 20 yards at different times but they never stopped running. Otherwise, nothing. The good news is, no shots were fired within miles. I'm not trying to spoil it for the gun hunters. Just thinking that the deer probably don't feel as pressured as they would have if they had been chased by slugs all weekend. Anyway, four more days of gun season next weekend through Tuesday and then the woods will be silent again. Hopefully things will settle down for bowhunting.

I counted 17 deer in the alfalfa field near our woods Saturday night. So they're there. Just very, very smart.
