This is how my opening morning went:
I managed to get up at 3am, showered and out the door by 3:30.
I forgot my rangefinder.
The batteries were dead on my gps.
I put my climber on a crooked tree.
Once in the tree I took an arrow out of my quiver, put the arrow on the string and then dropped the quiver on the ground. Oops.
A doe and two fawns show up before light and eat acorns in front of me. Just as it gets to be shooting light a jogger came down a nearby trail and ran them off.
Later at 7:30 this doe came by.
Now I can shoot a buck... I just need to find a cooperative one.
