well guys i came pretty danged close to scoring for us on the openning day. had a nice bird come in, 20+ pounds and about a 9-10in. beard. unfortunately he came in hard to my right side. sometimes it sucks being right-handed. i would've tried shooting lefty had he not spotted me. oh well. i have like 5 days straight i'm going to get to hunt starting wednesday so we'll see how it goes.
