JThunts, if he was a shooter, I'd have shot him. You weren't the one running the dogs and they weren't chasing deer... Lets hook up this season, if you're in Bristow, I'm about 5 min. from you near the PW Fairgrounds.

I went bowhunting in Fairfax/Clifton in the afternoon. All I saw were does and didn't shoot any. Buddy of mine took a real nice 8 point about 4 miles from where I was hunting though. I wish I had gone a.m. vice p.m. it warmed up, but I wasn't going to pass up an opening day opportunity. It was still a nice 5 hrs. in the woods, although I was flat beat, mice chewed up my seat/back rest on my new Summit Viper climber so I stood the whole time!!! It should be cooling down towards the end of the week, I forsee more deer being shot then.
