WOW. What a weekend for our Shotgun deer season to begin. Saturday it poured down rain ALL DAY LONG and was windy. The rain did turn to sleet a few times only to turn back to rain. Sunday it was very cold and the wind was blowing 20+ miles per hour with gusts well above that. This morning I am all pumped up to go sit in my stand and click on the light to see it snowing like crazy, with a nice thick dusting of white on the ground already and still coming down strong.

Usually on opening day it sounds like people playing war in my area, with shots ringing from everywhere. So far this year in my 4 trips out, I have heard well less than a dozen shots all together.

I was wanting so bad to try those FPB's out for size.......I keep telling myself...good things come to those who wait!
