I had to go to Walmart today to pick up a few things, and decided while I was there to zip through the hunting section to see what was shakin. I got there, and was appalled. The line at the counter was 20 deep, with people buying licenses and guns. As I walked by the counter, I heard a man inquite, "Do I need to sight this gun in or something, or is it ready to kill at deer with?" He was serious, and the cashier said it should be ready to go. There was nothing left, be it scent, shells, or calls.
I thought for a sec, looked at the people around me, and bought myself one of the last blaze orange vests they had left.
I can only imagine what all those calls, scents, and guns are going to do to deer movement in my neck of the country.
Time to hunt the deepest thickest cover.

Good luck all, and be safe.
