Well guys our season started yesterday and it was an awesome day to be in the woods, low temps and prefect weather. I didn't connect on a buck but had a close call with a big 10pt that would have been in the 140"-150" range. He came in real early in the afternoon about 3pm, he was within 30yards at one point but never provided a clear shot for me. I had 1 opportunity where I could have tried to slip one in through a small hole in the brush at about 37 yards but I didn't feel it was a high percentage shot so I passed. Certainly got the blood pumping and I'm hoping thats not the last encounter I have with that guy.

I was able to connect on a maturedoe a little later in the evening she came in and gave me a slight quatering away shot at 22 yards and I put my Snyper right through the boiler room, she made it about 50 yards and piled up within site.

My wife came along in the morning for her first ever bow hunt. She had a good morning we had 2 doe come within 8 yards but they busted her trying to draw her bow. She was bummed she didn't get the shot off but she learned more on that 1 morning that the whole 3 months we prepared prior to the season. She told me this morning that yesterday is in the past and she is focusing now on tomorrows hunt and not making the same mistakes twice. I was impressed by that statement and I think I might have a bowhunter on my hands. Been married almost 7 years, took me 6 1/2 years to figure out I married a natural born bowhunter.
